A night that promised so much for Alex de Minaur ended with another trip back to the drawing board following a loss that will require some serious soul-searching.

Earlier in the day, Iga Swiatek cruised past Emma Navarro 6-1, 6-2 in their Women’s Singles quarter-final while Madison Keys secured a surprising 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Elina Svitolina to set up a meeting with Swiatek tomorrow.

The last quarterfinal of the 2025 Australian Open gave Jannik Sinner a show on the iconic Rod Laver Arena. The world No.1 demolished local idol Alex de Minaur in three sets and reached the semifinals without wasting too much energy either.
