It will be interesting to see how Osaka and Raducanu get on this year. I think the former can still win some slams in her career but the latter is finished imo.

US Open champion Coco Gauff brushed aside Varvara Gracheva to reach the Auckland Classic semi-finals as she builds toward the Australian Open.

It took Gauff, 19, just 52 minutes to seal a 6-1 6-1 quarter-final win and set up a last-four meeting with fellow American Emma Navarro.

The Australian Open gets under way in Melbourne on 14 January.

Meanwhile, Briton Harriet Dart has reached the biggest final of her career at the Canberra International.

Dart, 27, beat American Katie Volynets 7-5 3-6 7-5 in the WTA 125 series tournament, which is the rung immediately below the full WTA Tour.

Rafael Nadal failed to convert three match points as he fell to a quarter-final defeat against Australian Jordan Thompson at the Brisbane International.

Nadal, 37, went close to sealing a straight-set victory but lost 5-7 7-6 (8-6) 6-3 to 29-year-old Thompson.

It was Nadal's third match since returning to action after almost a year out with a hip injury.

Thompson will face world number 14 Grigor Dimitrov in the semi-finals on Saturday.

Britain's Emma Raducanu withdrew from a charity match on Tuesday that was part of her Australian Open build-up.

The 2021 US Open champion is set to make her Grand Slam return next week in Melbourne after missing much of 2023 following ankle and wrist surgeries.

She woke up a "little sore" after a two-hour practice session on Monday and chose to rest instead.

Earlier, original opponent Naomi Osaka pulled out and was replaced by Donna Vekic for the match at Melbourne Park.

Britain's Billy Harris came back from a set down to keep alive his hopes of qualifying for the Australian Open, while Ryan Peniston also progressed.

The 28-year-old Harris, who has never made the main draw of the men's singles at a Grand Slam, recovered to beat Bulgarian Dimitar Kuzmanov 0-6 6-2 6-2 and set up a meeting with David Goffin.

Peniston won a final-set tie-break to beat Elias Ymer 6-1 4-6 7-6 (10-7).

But Lily Miyazaki was beaten on the first day of action in Melbourne.

Miyazaki lost to Australian 18-year-old Melisa Ercan, who was able to overcome calf cramps to edge a second-set tie-break and seal a 6-4 7-6 (7-5) win.

Love that Jack Draper is high in the odds vs his ranking. He will be top 20 by the end of the year

All the Brits being useless as is the norm now! Even Norrie was super lucky to progress.

That was a remarkable final set tie-break just now between Blinkova and Rybakina going to 22-20 and lasting 31 minutes. ohmy.gif

I imagine the tie-break lasted longer than all three sets individually!

Canny believe Draper went out against someone he thrashed only a week ago!

Not surprising on the other Brits and don’t think Norrie will get much further

Nice to see Norrie still in - I imagine a match against Zverev will be difficult though!

I know the Women's singles is often a lot less predictable but that's a lot of the top seeds out already!

That's a shame for Norrie to play so well but kinda throw it away at the end.
