The times of the next Australian Open matches have been made official: Jannik will challenge Rune no earlier than 4. At almost the same time it will be Lorenzo’s turn against Tien
Let’s prepare for a sleepless night: both Jannik Sinner and Lorenzo Sonego have been scheduled for tomorrow’s afternoon session, i.e. the Italian night. Jannik will be chasing the Australian Open quarter-final against Holger Rune no earlier than 4am on Rod Laver Arena, while Sonego has been placed as the third match on John Caine Arena, around the same time against American Learner Tien . The evening session in the main stadium of the tournament is for Iga Swiatek, who will open with Eva Lys, brought back as the lucky loser and on the field only for not having found a place on the flight home from Melbourne. The challenge between the home idol Alex De Minaur and the young American Alex Michelsen will close. Gael Monfils and Ben Shelton will instead play around 6 in the morning on Margaret Court Arena immediately after the match between Rybakina and Madison Keys. The rest of the program is still being defined.
