Intro

It was another day at the Australian Open without the matches we were hoping for, but with a record-breaking quarter-final line up in terms of top seeds, surely they’re coming. Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all.

Part one - Women’s results. We cover Madison Keys going out of the tournament and look ahead to Amanda Anisimova vs Jessica Pegula and Iga Swiatek vs Elena Rybakina in the quarter-finals. 

Part two (27:16) - Women’s results. Does Lorenzo Musetti truly believe he can beat Novak Djokovic? And can Ben Shelton make his quarter-final against Jannik Sinner properly close? Those are the big questions after Musetti, Shelton and Sinner all came through on Monday. 

Part three (53:23) - Sensation of the Day and Tuesday’s order of play as the quarter-finals begin and temperatures are set to reach 45C.
