Australian Open latest order of play and tournament schedule
Alex de Minaur takes on Frances Tiafoe as the third round of the tournament begins on Friday
Home favourite Alex de Minaur faces a blockbuster third-round match against Frances Tiafoe as the third round of the Australian Open begins.
Sixth seed De Minaur will take to the night session of the Rod Laver Arena against the popular American Tiafoe, a former US Open semi-finalist.
Another big-name clash on Friday is the meeting of third seed Alexander Zverev and Cameron Norrie, who is again the last Briton left standing in the draw.
Carlos Alcaraz faces his biggest test of the tournament yet against tricky 32nd seed Corentin Moutet, as the world No 1 looks to match Jannik Sinner’s rapid progression through the tournament.
Aryna Sabalenka has also cruised through the early rounds and meets Anastasia Potapova, the conqueror of Emma Raducanu.
Thursday saw another record win for the 40-year-old wildcard Stan Wawrinka, as well as a frosty handshake after fierce contest between Naomi Osaka and Sorana Cirstea.
