MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

’26 AO – Day 7 Women’s Singles final results

MELBOURNE, Australia – An early start – an hour early on the two biggest courts – because of the anticipated major heat coming our way on Saturday.

Those on the three roofed courts knew they would play, without undue delay.

It’s the matches on Kia Arena that will have questions. And No. 13 seed Linda Noskova found herself with a multi-hour delay before going down.

And Naomi Osaka was a late scratch for her night match.

(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET)
