MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

Australian Open 2025 – Day 5 Men’s singles final results

MELBOURNE, Australia – Rune v Berrettini went ahead on Thursday – arguably the most compelling of the main stadium matchups (if you’re not an Aussie supporter) but scheduled on John Cain Arena, turned out ALMOST to be a classic. But Rune prevaiiled.

Denis Shapovalov (against Lorenzo Musetti) and Gabriel Diallo (against Karen Khachanov) were not able to get through, and all the Canadian men are now eliminated.

(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET)
