The schedule of the closing day of the Australian Open was announced, Xie Shuwei hit the second crown, and Siname always strives for a new king!
The Australian Open is coming to an end on January 28, and the day before the tournament, the final schedule is already in place. On the final day, there were only men's and women's finals, and Hsieh was battling for her second Australian Open title of the season, while Medvedev and Sinner would battle it out in the men's singles.
First up is the final match of the women's singles, which will start at 12 p.m. local time in Beijing, with Hsieh Mertens taking on 11th seed Ostapenko Kichenok. Hsieh has just partnered with Zielinski to win her first Grand Slam title in mixed doubles. Hsieh then started her seventh Grand Slam tournament, having won both the French Open and Wimbledon last year.
After the women's singles match, the much-anticipated Australian Open Men's Championship will kick off at 16:30 GMT against No. 3 seed Dmitry Medvedev and No. 4 seed Sinner. It was also the first men's singles tournament ever held without a three-player tournament at the Australian Open.
Medvedev has won only one of his last five matches, and that is in the last six of Djokovic's match against Nadal. This time, Mei is always looking to win her second Grand Slam, and the newcomer, the Italian Sinner, is the first day of the year.
Sinner has been completely changed since last season, and early in the season, he showed amazing quality at the Australian Open. Sinner lost just one game to Djokovic, the first of his career to reach a Grand Slam final.
Sinner and Medvedev have met nine times, with Medvedev winning six, although the pair have won the last three meetings, with Sinner winning 3-3. The two have met in the final four times, winning two games each.
The final day of the Australian Open is as follows: Kichenok vs. Ostapenko vs. Hsieh Shuwei vs. Mertens (12:01) and Sinner vs. Medvedev (16:30).
