Australian Open 2024 LIVE RESULTS: Latest updates as Novak Djokovic in action TODAY, Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff THROUGH

Coaching team kicked out by star

Jelena Ostapenko incredibly ordered her entire coaching team out of the stadium during her victory over Ajla Tomljanovic at the Australian Open.

The Latvian had ranted at her team earlier in the match and later angrily sent them away from their seats inside the John Cain Arena.

Ostapenko took the first set against her long-term rival Tomljanovic, storming into a 6-0 lead. But she was frustrated when the Australian battled back in the second set.

With the second-set score at 5-3 and with Tomljanovic boasting set point, Ostapenko let rip at her team. It was unclear what was said, but she furiously gestured to suggest that she would throw them out of the stadium.

She later carried out her threat. Despite taking a 2-1 lead in the deciding set, the 26-year-old turned to her box, pointed to each of her coaching team and told them to leave. The reason for her decision is unclear.

Ruthless Aryna into last 16

Defending champ Aryna Sabalenka crushed Lesia Tsurenko 6-0 6-0 this morning.

The second seed never gave the Ukrainian 28th seed a look-in as the Belarusian reached the last 16.

'I couldn't breathe during match'

Caroline Garcia says she "couldn't breathe" as the World No17 revealed the mental health challenges faced by her and many.

Two days after beating Naomi Osaka, the French star lost to Pole Magdalena Frech, 4-6 6-7.

Garcia, 30, had already spoken of anxiety, stress and bulimia.

And after her second-round exit, she said: “In this match, I couldn’t even breathe.

“How can I find the solution on my serve if I can’t even breathe — the simplest thing in the world? It’s only the second round of the Australian Open. Why am I in such a state? I do not know."

Garcia added: “But for a certain period of time, it’s been like this and I can’t get over it. And in fact, it eats me up.

"Sometimes I say to myself, ‘but why am I doing this?' If we could understand and manage emotions overnight, there would be no stressed person left on earth."

Mirra reflects exciting new era at Oz Open

Mirra Andreeva's incredible run to the third round aged 16 has spotlighted an Australian Open full of shocks in the women's event.

The Russian beat her idol, three-time Grand Slam finalist Ons Jabeur, 6-0 6-2 in just 54 minutes.

No6 seed Jabeur's exit means only three of the leading eight remain.

And Andreeva's first win over a top-10 player came just two days after she returned to school.

She's already ranked 47th in the world - compared to 130th for her 19-year-old sister Erika.

Alcaraz 'satisfied' after gruelling win

Carlos Alcaraz was "satisfied" with his "intense" and gruelling four-set defeat of Lorenzo Sonego.

The Spanish second seed claimed his first ever win over the Italian, 6-4 6-7 6-3 7-6.

Alcaraz, 20, said: "I'm satisfied with today's performance. We both played great, expressing a high level of play. There was a lot of intensity.

"The conditions were not favourable. It was windy, then the sun was annoying on one side. It wasn't easy to play at my best.

"The second set was very close. I had my chances, but he deserved to take it home. I'm happy with how I reacted. I just stood there with my head.

"We both played some great points. He's playing great, I'll watch some of his games to get to know him better."

Ostapen-KO for WHOLE coaching team

Jelena Ostapenko caused one of the storms of the Australian Open by demanding her whole coaching team leave the stadium.

The Latvian beat Aussie Ajla Tomljanovic 6-0, 3-6, 6-4 in a topsy-turvy contest.

But the Latvian shouted at her entourage when she trailed 5-3 in the second set - appearing to gesture that she would throw them out.

Ostapenko lost that set as Tomljanovic levelled the match and threatened another comeback triumph.

But despite going 2-1 up in the deciding threat, Ostapenko lost her cool once more with her own team.

The 26-year-old pointed at them one by one to tell them to leave.

Why remains a mystery, and what it means for the future is also uncertain, but Ostapenko did it alone as she edged to victory.

'Most mental match I've ever seen'

Laura Robson rated Anna Blinkova's shock win over third seed Elena Rybakina as the "most mental match I've ever seen" - as the Russian triumphed via the longest tie-break in Grand Slam history.

Blinkova, 25, won 6-4 4-6 7-6 - after taking the third-set tie-break 22-20.

She KO'd the Kazakhstani on her TENTH match point - after saving six herself.

Blinkova said: “This day I will remember for the rest of my life.

“This court, this crowd. I will never forget it. It’s the best day of my life so far.”

Ex-British player Robson claimed: “That was I think the most mental match I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Henman full of praise for Raducanu

Tim Henman has claimed there's plenty to build on for Emma Raducanu after her exit from the Australian Open.

Raducanu lost 6-4 4-6 6-4 to Yafan Wang in a physical battle that saw her requiring medical attention.

Tennis icon Henman was speaking on Eurosport when he said: "I think [her] level was excellent when she won that second set to go a set all.

"You thought that she'd got the momentum, but Wang is a great competitor.

"Emma had some physical problems. I thought the level of tennis was good. Plenty to build on."

Raducanu not giving up easy

Emma Raducanu had to fight until the very end in her match with Yafan Wang.

And despite "throwing up in her mouth" she has explained she isn't going to quit as easily as she has done in the past.

I’ve been in that situation before in matches, whether it was with illness or injury, and retired a few times.

With what I went through last year, you feel awful right now.

At some points I couldn’t really see the ball very well, but I think it’s made me so much tougher.

There was no way I was going to pull out. She [Wang] was going to have to beat me, and she did. She served it out.

Medvedev first set shock

Daniil Medvedev finds himself one set down to unseeded Finnish star Emil Ruusuvuori.

The world number three lost the first set 6-3 in under 45 minutes.

There has been plenty of shocks already in today's action with both Emma Raducanu and Elena Rybakina crashing out in the women's singles.

Could Medvedev join them in an early exit?

What a finish!

Anna Blinkova has pulled off a shock win over world number three Elena Rybakina.

A 93 minute third set saw Blinkova win in the longest tiebreak in Women's Grand Slam history.

The match ended 4-6 -6-4 6-7 (22-20).

Blinkova hailed the victory in an interview and labelled it as "the greatest day of my life so far."

Norrie faces Ruud awakening

Cam Norrie will take on Casper Ruud in the third round of the Australian Open on Sunday.

Norrie progressed past Italian Giulio Zeppieri earlier on today.

The Brit was two sets down, but rallied to win 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 6-4 6-4.

Wang's opponent revealed

Yafan Wang stunned Emma Raducanu to reach the third round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career.

The Chinese 29-year-old will now face compatriot Qinwen Zheng in the next round on Saturday.

Zheng is also making her first appearance in the third round of the Austalian Open.

Raducanu's physical battle

Emma Raducanu gave every ounce of her might in an attempt to get through to the next round of the Australian Open.

But the Brit was unable to secure a spot after an intense battle with Yafan Wang.

Raducanu was visibly uncomfortable for most of the third set as she needed medical assistance at one point.

So close, so far

It was an inspired effort from Emma Raducanu.

But she fell just short of a memorable win, losing 6-4 4-6 6-4 in just shy of three hours on court.

A lot to learn and definitely some positives to take after her long injury lay-off, but this defeat will hurt for a while.

Over to you, Wang

Wow. A hold to love from Emma in the blink of an eye.

Wonderful stuff.

Now can she break back?

It's now or never...

Emma serving to stay in it

Wang with a confident hold given the circumstances.

Raducanu knows she must hold then break to stay in the Australian Open...
