–

MELBOURNE, Australia – The mixed doubles final – between two Aussie wild card teams – the women’s doubles semifinals and … the pièce de résistance … the men’s semifinals.

Jannik Sinner vs. Ben Shelton – the outlier – and Alexander Zverev vs. Novak Djokovic.

Is this Zverev’s time? He’s been rolling through the draw, without much fanfare. And on Friday he only had to play one set.

On the women’s doubles side the Cana-Kiwi team of Dabrowski and Routliffe have a tough ask against Hsieh and Ostapenko. They had their chances, but their road ends in the semis.

(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET).
