Johanna Konta's Australian Open run continues with win over Saisai Zheng

3132.jpg


Two days after walking away, euphoric, from the warm and dazzling stage of Rod Laver Arena with Venus Williams added to her list of top 10 scalps, Johanna Konta was pitched back into the relative obscurity of an outside court on day four of the 2016 Australian Open.

And what impressed about her 6-2, 6-3 win over China’s Saisai Zheng in an arena that disturbingly resembled a cramped prison exercise yard, was that her level did not dip, her fierce gaze remaining fixed as she went through to the third round. “I don’t get too fazed by where they put me,” Konta said afterwards. “The court is the same size, the lines are in the same place and so is the net.”

Australian Open: Nick Kyrgios slams umpire following Melbourne Park exit in third round

Nick Kyrgios labelled the performance of chair umpire James Keothavong as "unprofessional" following his third-round exit from the Australian Open on Friday night.

Kyrgios lost his temper late in the second set of the 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 loss to sixth seed Tomas Berdych, claiming the match had turned into a "circus" as he berated Keothavong for not clamping down on music he claimed he heard playing in the crowd inside Rod Laver Arena..

Serena Williams routs Daria Kasatkina, advances at Aussie

After last year's infamous twirl-gate, Serena Williams is sporting a new look at this Australian Open: a yellow two-piece outfit with a crop top and pleated skirt.

"It's built for speed,'' she said.

That was definitely the case Friday. Williams played her third-round match so fast and furiously it was as if she needed to dash out and chase down a cellphone thief. Or make sure that teenage opponent Daria Kasatkina could get home well before curfew.

Coach Nigel Sears conscious after collapsing during Ana Ivanovic's match

Ana Ivanovic's coach, Nigel Sears, is conscious after collapsing midway through her third-round loss to Madison Keys at the Australian Open.

Sears, the father-in-law of Andy Murray, was leaving the courtside players box in Rod Laver Arena when he collapsed, according to reports. He was immediately put on a stretcher and treated with an IV and oxygen before eventually being taken down an elevator to an ambulance.

Jamie Murray, Andy Murray's brother, told Press Association Sport that Sears was "conscious, talking and sitting up." He was undergoing further tests at a hospital.

Andy Murray beats Bernard Tomic: Australian Open – as it happened

For the seventh year in a row, Andy Murray is in the quarter-finals of theAustralian Open. As impressive as that number is, and as big a relief as was his dismissal of Bernard Tomic in three sets on Monday to get there, it was an uneven performance, gritty rather than fluent.

If Novak Djokovic’s perverse five-set struggle on Sunday gave him heart – Murray said beforehand it would take a degradation of the Serb’s hitherto dominant tennis for a rival to take his title off him – the world No2 knows he has work of his own to do. He had served well in his first three matches but not so convincingly this time, his reliability on first visit to the baseline rarely getting over 60%, and sliding to 44% in the third set, as he won 6-4, 6-4, 7-6 in two and a half hours.

Serena Williams Routs Radwanska and Nears a 22nd Major Title


As Serena Williams recovered from a run at history that ended with the finish line in sight, Agnieszka Radwanska spent the months following the 2015 United States Open chasing titles all over Asia, winning in Japan, China, the Women’s Tennis Association finals in Singapore and, at the start of this year, again in China

On the strength of her results over the past four months, Radwanska will rise to No. 3 in the new world rankings. All those matches played and won while the world No. 1, Williams, sat recharging her body and mind helped Radwanska not one whit in their Australian Open semifinal on Thursday at Melbourne Park.

Serena Williams, Angelique Kerber win in straight sets en route to final

For a few moments anyway, it seemed as if the ghost of Roberta Vinci had entered Melbourne Park.

After winning the first six games of her semifinal match against No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska, Serena Williams began to show signs of tightness. Her groundstrokes lost some juice, and her feet moved with considerably more resistance.

Williams eventually collected herself, winning 6-0, 6-4 on Thursday to reach the Australian Open final for the seventh time.

Next up for Williams is a date with No. 7 Angelique Kerber of Germany and a shot at matching Steffi Graf's Open era record of 22 Grand Slam titles. Kerber defeated surprise semifinalist Johanna Konta 7-5, 6-2.
