About this episode
There was a familiar Grand Slam feeling for Catherine, David and Matt on Friday - recovering from a 3am finish involving Daniil Medvedev. But fortunately the Australian Open delivered more great tennis. Part one - Men's Results. Draper beats his second Sensation and wins his third straight five setter, Djokovic cruises past the disappointing Machac, Alcaraz drops a set but wins comfortably enough, Fils retires against Humbert, Davidovich Fokina comes back from two sets down again. Part two (from 30m50s) - Women's Results. Sabalenka keep searching for top form, Vekic beats Shnaider in a thriller, Osaka retires, Bencic opens up on her return from giving birth as she sets up Gauff clash, Danilovic upsets Pegula. Part three (from 56m09s) - Sensation of the Day and Day 7 order of play.
