Day 11 of the Australian Open: Djokovic leads, Sinner closes the day, Swiatek faces Rybakina

The schedule for the 11th day of the 2026 Australian Open has been announced, featuring ongoing fights for semifinal places in the lower halves of the men’s and women’s singles draws. This tournament is notable as the first Grand Slam in the Open Era to have the top six seeds from both genders all advancing to the quarterfinals, underscoring the event’s prestige.

Pegula

Swiatek

Djokovic

Sinner

The day will open with a key women's quarterfinal match—5th seed Rybakina will take on 2nd seed Swiatek, with the Polish player aiming to achieve a career Grand Slam. Following that will be another American showdown, where 6th seed Pegula faces 4th seed Anisimova across the net. On the men's side, Djokovic will play against Musetti, who is 15 years his junior; however, the Serbian gained an advantage by advancing due to Menšík's withdrawal in the previous round, giving him extra rest and adding uncertainty to this match. The night session will conclude with the 2nd seed Sinner facing the 8th seed Shelton, with the defending champion holding an 8-0 head-to-head record against the American.

Zhang Shuai

In doubles, the pair Zhang Shuai and Mertens will open the matches on ANZ Stadium, facing Wu Fang-hsien and Eri Hozumi as they aim to reach the women’s doubles semifinals. Meanwhile, junior and wheelchair events will continue, featuring many Chinese players competing.
