Media One-Point Slam Plans

The semi-finals are set as Catherine, David and Matt wrap up another day of straight sets matches at this most unusual Australian Open. 

Part one - Men’s Results. We cover the devastation of Lorenzo Musetti when forced to retire two sets up, another lucky break for Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner’s continued dominance over Ben Shelton, and whether Djokovic can rediscover any kind of form before facing Sinner in the semis. 

Part two (25:37) - Women’s Results. We discuss excellent performances from Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek’s commitment to doing things differently in 2026, and the players speaking out against the backstage cameras. 

Part three (53:00) - Sensation of the day, updates from the wheelchair and doubles events, and Matt prepares for the media one point slam.
