We’ve also had a major boilover in the men’s doubles, where Wimbledon champions and top seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool have fallen to James McCabe and Li Tu out on the ANZ Arena, the Aussie pair winning 7-6 (7-5), 6-4!
Now that Sabalenka has survived her scare, we should soon see Carlos Alcaraz’s (1) and Corentin Moutet (32) emerge out onto Rod Laver Arena for their third round meeting.
Whoever emerges triumphant from that contest will face the winner of Tommy Paul and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who are just about to get underway on John Cain Arena after Victoria Mboko (17) saw off Clara Tauson (13) 7-6 (7-5), 7-5, 6-3.
In today’s other completed game in the singles, Learner Tien (25) has defeated Nuno Borges 7-6 (11-9), 6-4, 6-2.
