The schedule for the 11th day of the Australian Open was announced: Zheng Qinwen appeared on the center court at night, and Li Na fought again in the veteran match
On 24 January, the Australian Open will enter the 11th day of competition. The day before the competition, the schedule for the 11th day was officially announced. Zheng Qinwen will make his appearance in the night court and attack for his first Grand Slam semi-finals. Li Na will partner with Hantuchova and play in the veterans' match again.
Zheng will play at Rod Laver Stadium in the evening at around 16:15 GMT against Russia's Karinskaya. Zheng Qinwen, who reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the first time in a record, will be aiming for his first Grand Slam semi-finals and the top 10. She and Kalinskaya have played each other once in Guadalajara in 2022, when Zheng Qinwen lost to her opponent in three sets.
The winner of Zheng Qinwen and Karinskaya will meet Noskova and Yasteremska in the semi-finals. The pair will face off in a dark showdown at the Australian Open, and whoever emerges victorious will be reaching the semi-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time. The two players had never faced each other before on the tour.
After a day's rest, Li Na will partner Hantuchova in the Women's Doubles Senior Tournament again, where she will face Mayori and Petkovic. In the first match, Li Na and Hantuchova performed well, winning in straight sets. But then in the Mixed Doubles Senior Event, Li Na and Johansen lost to the combination of Hantuchova and Haas.
Alcaraz and Zverev will have a battle of the spotlight. The two players have faced each other seven times before, with Zverev holding a slight advantage at 4-3. The other men's singles quarter-finals will be between Medvedev and Hurkacz, who have met five times in the past, with Hurkacz holding a slight lead with 3 wins and 2 losses.
