Australian Open 2025: De Minaur and Boulter in action, Raducanu battles through – live
Important events
Paolini is so fun to watch and she immediately earns two break points, and when Wei scores a forehand, she is up 1-0.
Some final scores:
-
Musetti (16) is 1-0 5-4 ahead against Arnaldi
-
Shelton (21) leads Nakashima 7-6 7-5 4-3
-
Bautista Agut and Shapovalov are warming up
-
Sonego and Wawrinka are 1-1 4-4
-
Etcheverry and Cobolli (32) play a tiebreak in the first set
So, which matches should you watch? I’m going for Van de Zandschulp against De Minaur, Popyrin against Moutet, Arnaldo against Musetti and Wei against Paolini, I think – provided the different systems allow it.
Let’s start with a result: Fifth seed Daniil Medvedev survived a scare to beat Thailand’s Kasidit Samrej, a qualifier, 6-2 4-6 3-6 6-1 6-2. He then meets student Tien from the US.
Preamble
Have a great day everyone and welcome to the Australian Open 2024 – day three!
As always, we have a lot in store for you during this evening session. Local favorites Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin both start their campaigns, against the big officiating Botic van de Zandschulp and the mercurial Corentin Moutet respectively, while Jasmine Paolini and Andrey Rublev also feature.
And there is more, so much more. Ben Shelton and Brandon Nakashima are in the middle of the match, as are Matteo Arnaldi and Lorenzo Musetti, while Ons Jabeur and Katie Boulter take the field when they are ready; Roberto Bautista Agut meets Denis Shapovalov; Lorenzo Sonego and Stan Wawrinka are already on their way; and that also applies to Tomas Etcheverry and Flavio Cobolli.
Let’s go!
