The Australian Open 2025 has been rocked by upsets right from the start. The conclusion of the third round on Saturday (January 18) witnessed the departure of more high-profile names.

Melbourne, Australia, AFP: Iga Swiatek demolished Emma Raducanu on Saturday to sweep into the last 16 of the Australian Open as 38-year-old Frenchman Gael Monfils stunned fourth seed Taylor Fritz. Later on day seven in Melbourne, Jannik Sinner will step up his title defence and young tyro Learner Tien is also in action.

Emma Raducanu suffered her worst ever loss at a Grand Slam at the hands of Iga Swiatek. The five-time Major winner thrashed Raducanu 6-1 6-0 in just 70 minutes. But Raducanu defended herself, claiming the scoreline was "harsh".

Gael Monfils has joined Roger Federer as the only men to reach the Australian Open's fourth round at age 38 or older since the tournament field expanded to 128 players in 1988.

MELBOURNE — Everything came so easily for Iga Swiatek during a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Emma Raducanu Saturday in the only Australian Open women’s third-round match between two past Grand Slam champions — if you thought that meant it would be close, you’d have been rather wrong — that this was how she described it:

Iga Swiatek won the final 11 games of Saturday's match against Emma Raducanu and won 6-1, 6-0 to advance to the fourth round at the Australian Open.

Jannik Sinner faces a tough challenge against Holger Rune in the Australian Open's fourth round, while Iga Swiatek aims to defeat Eva Lys and progress further. Alex de Minaur, Gael Monfils, and rising star Learner Tien are among others looking to make their mark.

Jannik Sinner will face his trickiest test yet at the Australian Open when the defending champion battles Dane Holger Rune in the fourth round on Monday, while five-times Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek will be the heavy favourite against lucky loser Eva Lys.

Swiatek, who agreed to accept a one-month suspension in a doping case late last year, owns four trophies from the French Open and one from the U.S. Open. She's never been beyond the semifinals in Australia; she lost in that round to Danielle Collins in 2022. A year ago, Swiatek was upset in the third round by teenager Linda Noskova.
