CCTV-5 and Yangshipin have released the live broadcast schedule for the Australian Open on January 27, 2026, featuring Sabalenka, Gauff, Zverev, and Alcaraz, as detailed in the image below.

From the above broadcast schedule, we can see:

1. The Australian Open singles quarterfinals start tomorrow, with no Chinese players taking part.
2. At 8:30 AM tomorrow, Sabalenka will play against Jovic, live on CCTV-5 and Yangshipin. Sabalenka is very likely to win and advance to the semifinals. She has won two titles and finished runner-up once in the last three years, making the Australian Open her stronghold.
3. At 10:30 AM tomorrow, Zverev will face Linner Chen, live on Yangshipin. Unless there is an upset, Zverev should win and move on to the semifinals.
4. At 4:00 PM tomorrow, Gauff will compete against Svitolina, live on CCTV-5+ channel and Yangshipin. On paper, Gauff has a clear advantage over Svitolina. In practice, I also expect Gauff to win and reach the semifinals.
5. At 5:40 AM tomorrow, Alcaraz will play against Deminor, live on CCTV-5+ channel and Yangshipin. Alcaraz has a very high chance of winning, but we should not overlook Deminor’s home-court advantage. Hopefully, Alcaraz will win and advance to the semifinals. What do you think?
