The 2025 Australian Open is heating up, with the men’s and women’s singles tournaments both down to just a few remaining players.
In the women’s singles tournament, Coco Gauff — the highest-seeded American player — is out after a two-set quarterfinal loss to No. 11 seed Paula Badosa. Badosa and top seed Aryna Sabalenka have qualified for the semifinals, while Tuesday sees No. 19 Madison Keys play No. 28 Elina Svitolina, and a high-profile contest between No. 2 Iga Świątek and No. 8 Emma Navarro.
The men’s bracket saw No. 7 Novak Djokovic upset Carlos Alcaraz on Tuesday, while No. 2 Alexander Zverev defeated American Tommy Paul to set up a potential blockbuster semifinal. The remaining matches in the final eight involve No. 21 Ben Shelton (the final American left in the men’s singles tournament) facing unseeded Lorenzo Sonego, and top seed Jannik Sinner facing a home crowd favorite in Australian No. 8 Alex de Minaur.
