The 2024 Australian Open is in full swing! The tennis tournament, which runs from Jan. 13-28, continued Tuesday (Jan. 23) with a packed schedule of matches between players from around the globe.

Among the lineup, Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska will take on Czech tennis player Linda Noskova in a women’s quarter-final match on Tuesday. Yastremaska beat New Yorker Emmy Navarro in a third round match last week and advanced to the fourth round quarter-finals for the first time in her career.

In another first, 19-year-old Coco Gauff advanced to the Australian Open semi-final after winning a match against Marta Kostyuk on Monday. “Marta is a tough opponent, every time we play it’s a tough match,” Gauff said in a post-game interview. “I really fought and left it all on the court.”

After winning last year’s U.S. Open, Gauff became the first American teenager to take the title since Serena Williams in 1999. The teen will face Aryna Sabalenka (whom she beat in the U.S. Open final last year) in the women’s semi-finals on Wednesday.

The men’s schedule includes Italy’s Jannik Sinner vs. Andrey Rublev of Serbia and Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz vs. Russia’s Daniil Medvedev.

After beating Rublev in a men’s quarter-final match on Tuesday, Sinner will advance to the men’s semi-final match against tennis veteran, Novak Djokovic, on Thursday.

A native of Serbia, Djokovic has had quite a showing at this year’s Australian Open. He advanced to the fourth round after defeating Argentina’s Tomas Martin Etcheverry in a third round match last Friday. Djokovic won a fourth round match against French player, Adrian Mannarino, on Saturday and a quarter-final match against California native, Taylor Fritz, on Monday.

In a post-game interview, Djokovic admitted to struggling in the first couple of rounds and congratulated Fritz for being a strong competitor. “We started with a 60- or 70-minute first game, which took a lot out of us,” he explained. “[Fritz] was making me uncomfortable on the court because he was very aggressive, he served great and he was staying close to the line, taking the ball early, making me run. I was often on [my] back foot, so [kudos] to him for playing really well. You could see he had a game plan and he was very sharp. It was definitely a struggle for me to play the first sets and then [in the third set] things started to come together.”

Djokovic, 36, became the third tennis player in history to play 100 matches at the Australian Open.
