Saturday Australian Open Odds, Picks, Analysis
Iga Swiatek vs. Elena Rybakina
8:30 p.m. ET
Not only will this matchup pit two of the biggest Australian Open contenders against each other, but it will also feature the last two Slam champions.
Elena Rybakina triumphed at Wimbledon while Iga Swiatek took home the US Open. David Gertler is forecasting an excellent battle in this match.
Coco Gauff vs. Jelena Ostapenko
9 p.m. ET
The second-highest ranked American left in either field – Coco Gauff – is still hunting her first Grand Slam title.
Perhaps the word still feels odd as she's just 18-years old, but that's how good of a career she has already had. Gertler breaks down her match with Jelena Ostapenko.
Sebastian Korda vs. Hubert Hurkacz
9:30 p.m. ET
Sebi Korda put together one of the performances of the tournament thus far when he beat Daniil Medvedev in the third round.
Now, he has another player with pedigree in Hubert Hurkacz. Kenny Ducey evaluates the sure to be big-hitting contest.
Jessica Pegula vs. Barbora Krejcikova
1 a.m. ET
Now to the highest ranked American remaining, Jessica Pegula. She faces former Slam champion Barbora Krejcikova.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Jannik Sinner
3 a.m. ET
The match of the day kicks off the night session at Rod Laver Arena, and boy is it a good one.
Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on Jannik Sinner in a rematch of the quarterfinal he surprisingly dominated last year.
Victoria Azarenka vs. Lin Zhu
5 a.m. ET
The final match of the evening comes between former Australian Open champion and Cinderella story Lin Zhu.
