It's the penultimate day of the women's side of the Australian Open, with Coco Gauff (19) facing Aryna Sabalenka (25) and Qinwen Zheng (21) taking on Dayana Yastremska (23) in the semi-finals.

16:09 CET - Djokovic and Sinner will take to the court at around 04:30 CET, and we'll be providing live coverage of everything that happens from 07:00 CET onwards. Don't worry, something tells us that match will still be a long way from the finish at that point...

16:02 CET - After that, familiar foes Daniil Medvedev (27) and Alexander Zverev (26) - who aren't exactly the best of friends - will do battle in a Grand Slam for the first time as they both seek to win their first Australian Open. 

The clashes between the two are often tight and often heated, so expect to see home fireworks.

15:57 CET - There are just four matches left in this year's Australian Open, and the next two - the men's semi-finals - will be played tomorrow morning. 

First up is the main event, with Novak Djokovic (36) going up against Jannik Sinner (21), who is in the form of his life having beaten the Serb at the Davis Cup and ATP Finals in the past few months. 

It's difficult to argue against them being the two best men's players in the world right now, and difficult to imagine them not playing out a thriller.
