Aus Open Day 6 - Things are about to get serious
Episode 1469
Friday, 23 January, 2026

Catherine, David and Matt discuss a day which saw almost all of the big names win through to set up a series of enticing Last 16 matches. Part one - Women’s results. We discuss Coco Gauff’s comeback against Hailey Baptiste, Aryna Sabalenka needing her tiebreak record to come through, a breakout performance from Iva Jovic to beat Jasmine Paolini, and some incredible Yulia Putintseva celebrations. Part two (26:49) - Men’s results. We cover Daniil Medvedev’s comeback from two sets down against Fabian Marozsan, his match up with Learner Tien in the next round, a brilliant display from Alex de Minaur in keeping with his reliable record in Melbourne, a comfortable win for Carlos Alcaraz, and Francisco Cerundolo winning through to face Alexander Zverev. Part three (55:46) - Sensation of the Day and the slightly adjusted Day 7 order of play with 40C heat expected.The Tennis Podcast throughout the Australian Open is sponsored by Steve Furgal’s International Tennis Tours - the Premium Hospitality and Experience Provider!
