World No.1 and defending champion Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek, Elina Svitolina, Elena Rybakina and other big players will be in action on Day 9 of the hard court major at the Melbourne Park.

The World No. 1, despite feeling unwell in sweltering conditions, kept up his title defense with a four-set triumph.

Elina Svitolina advances to Australian Open quarterfinals, to face Madison Keys after defeating Veronika Kudermetova.

Jannik Sinner battled through illness to reach the quarter-finals of the Australian Open on Monday as his Italian compatriot Lorenzo Sonego ended teenager Learner Tien's fairytale run.

First came the medical timeouts, one each for Jannik Sinner and Holger Rune with the temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius) at the Australian Open. Then came the bizarre sight of a 20-minute delay because the net at Rod Laver Arena detached from the court after being hit by a big Sinner serve.

Defending champion Jannik Sinner moved into the Australian Open quarterfinals at Melbourne Park on Monday by eliminating the 13th-seeded Holger Rune 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.

Elina Svitolina rallied from 4-1 down defeat Veronika Kudermetova 6-4, 6-1 to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals. Svitolina will face Madison Keys in the next round.
