Rod Laver Arena once again takes center stage on Day 6, with both world No.1s scheduled to play. First, Aryna Sabalenka will open the day’s session. Shortly afterwards, Carlos Alcaraz will step onto the court to face Corentin Moutet in a matchup that promises flair, creativity, and plenty of highlight-reel moments.
Meanwhile, the night session delivers what could become one of the matches of the tournament. Australia’s top-ranked player, Alex de Minaur, will battle Frances Tiafoe, whose form has steadily improved throughout the season. To conclude the evening, Mirra Andreeva returns to court as she continues her pursuit of a maiden Slam title.
