Carlos Alcaraz is the hero we need but don’t deserve.

More photos from the mixed doubles final yesterday. It was very smoky when the match started, from the light show they played beforehand.

Fun light show in Rod Laver Arena yesterday before the mixed doubles final (which was a good match!)

He's still got it, incredible from Novak Djokovic 🫡

The 38-year-old faces Carlos Alcaraz in the #AusOpen final.

My hopes for the men’s singles semis:

1) Carlitos over the abuser
2) The Carrot Fox over the anti-vaxxer

My hopes for the women’s singles semis:

1) Slava Ukraini over “pick me girl”
2) Rich girl over abusive coach

As a heatwave hits the #AusOpen, spare a thought for Alexander Zverev.

He's lived with type 1 diabetes since he was 4 – a condition which can be dangerous in extreme heat 🥵

Just switched over to the Gauff/Muchova match and…damn, Coco!

#Tennis #AusOpen 🎾 Jannik SInner is not enjoying the heat, goes down a break in the 3rd Set and they are now closing the roof. The Umpire on Kia Arena has told Noskova and Wang we will be stopping play for the heat after the next game (they can only stop after serving the same number of games).

Je regarde brièvement l'Open d'Australie de tennis, Elina Svitolina (Ukraine) contre Diana Shnaider (Russie), et il est mentionné le contexte politique et le fait que Svitolina ne sert pas la main des russes. Rien de nouveau de ce côté.

Toasty weather at the Australian Open. Interesting to read about the extreme heat protocols and how/when they come into effect.

"Play will be suspended and roofs closed on major courts if Saturday’s soaring temperatures put player safety at risk.

"The temperature is expected to hit 40 degrees by 5pm on day seven of the tournament in a development that could turn this year’s Australian Open into a war of attrition."

Wawrinka’s post-match recovery beer and an ‘elite coffee snob’ — quick hits from the Australian Open

It’s not every day you have two elite tennis players talking about beverages post-match. But Madison Keys called…
