Joel and Kim are back to discuss the men’s and women’s quarter final action from Melbourne Park, as the Australian Open heads into its latter stages and Champions await to be crowned.

With Sascha Zverev dispatching Carlos Alcaraz with a serving masterclass, Daniil Medvedev triumphing (and not on a plane home!) in 5 over Hubert Hurkacz, and Novak Djokovic finally winning a break point to send Taylor Fritz packing, and Jannik Sinner continuing his seamless run through the draw against Andrey Rublev we have our Final 4 players lined up to battle it out come Friday.

Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff will meet again for the second Grand Slam in a row, albeit coming through their respective semi finals over Barbora Krejickova and Marta Kostuyk in very different fashions. The winner of that tie will await a First Time Slam Finalist of 12th seed Qinwen Zheng or qualifier Dayana Yastremska who continued their deep runs with wins over Anna Kalinskaya and Linda Noskova.

Joel and Kim also commend Rohan Bopanna on reaching World No.1 in the Men’s Doubles rankings for the first time at the ripe old age of 43, a new record for the sport plus promising signs for Rafael Nadal returning to the tour in Doha next month.
