    EXCLUSIVE: Frosty Naomi Osaka incident can 'play on your mind' as Aussie qualifier eyes monumental upset

    Former Aussie tennis star Casey Dellacqua says an incident like the one that rattled Naomi Osaka on Thursday night has the potential to linger on her mind during her third round Australian Open match.

    And the wife of 10-time Aussie Open champion Novak Djokovic has taken a swipe at the Japanese superstar over her clash with Sorana Cirstea on Margaret Court Arena.

    Cirstea appeared to take exception to Osaka speaking to herself in between her opponent's serves. Fans are not permitted to make noise in between first and second serve.

    Naomi Osaka has apologised for her “disrespectful” on-court interview following her second-round victory over Romania’s Sorana Cirstea, where the two had a heated exchange at the net after the match.

    Osaka and Cirstea shook hands and went over to shake the hand of chair umpire Kelly Rask, before Cirstea exchanged words with Osaka and the Romanian left the court.

    Hanfmann’s medical timeout is continuing, with the big German still receiving treatment on his left ribcage as Alcaraz paces the baseline.

    Hanfmann has given absolutely everything to this one and despite being two sets down has probably given Alcaraz – and most observers – a much bigger fight than they were expecting. However, this might have taken a toll on the German, with his shirt of multiple physios called out to assess him.

    The chair is saying he’s got an issue with his left rib cage.

    ATP Australian Open Best Bets Including Alcaraz vs Hanfmann

    Reilly Opelka has won three of his last five matches. This week in Melbourne, the American defeated Budkov Kjaer in the opening round in straight sets. He offered and saved two breakpoints. Last season in Melbourne, Opelka lost to Machac in the second round in five tight sets.

    Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has won three of his last five matches. Last week in Adelaide, the Spaniard lost to Humbert in the semifinals in three sets. This week in Melbourne, Davidovich Fokina demolished Misolic in straight sets. He offered and saved four breakpoints.

    According to the bookies, Opelka is the underdog in this matchup, but we disagree. He dominated in the opening match against Budkov Kjaer. We expect several tiebreaks and a tight match that could go either way.

    It’s the old dilemma of “would you rather?” – the choice between two difficult hypotheticals – which Carlos Alcaraz thought he had the answer for upon arriving in Australia, only for a curve ball to be thrown his way.

    The top seed comes to Melbourne Park for Australian Open 2026 on the verge of history as he bids to complete the career Grand Slam this fortnight, a mission which begins on Sunday night against Australia’s Adam Walton.

    Sinner is the Spaniard’s clear rival but Swiatek, Rybakina, Bencic, Gauff and others are in Sabalenka’s way

    Everyone wants to know exactly why Carlos Alcaraz split up with Juan Carlos Ferrero. It was, by some margin, one of the most surprising coaching separations in the history of tennis, a decision that came with no clear warning immediately after the greatest season of Alcaraz’s career. The discourse has since ranged from his alleged determination to reside exclusively at home in El Palmar, Murcia and train in his home academy, to potential discontent at Ferrero’s absences from numerous tournaments last year.

    'A chapter of life' ends – Alcaraz on Ferrero split

    Carlos Alcaraz won the French Open and US Open last year

    Six-time major winner Carlos Alcaraz described his surprise split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero as a "chapter of life that has to end".

    The world number one surprised tennis fans in December when he announced he had parted ways with Ferrero, who had coached him since he was 15 years old.

    BBC Sport understands Ferrero did not want to leave his role, but Alcaraz said on Friday they "closed this chapter in mutual".

    He explained: "We, as I said, both are still friends, good relationship. But we just decided like this.

    Carlos Alcaraz speaks after ending 2025 as the world No. 1 in men's tennis. (0:28)

    Carlos Alcaraz is parting ways with his longtime coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, the man who guided him to the pinnacle of men's tennis during a seven-year partnership, the top-ranked player announced Wednesday on social media.

    With Ferrero, Alcaraz claimed six Grand Slam titles: two French Open titles, two Wimbledon crowns and two US Opens. He amassed 24 tour-level titles, including eight Masters 1000 trophies. The 22-year-old had a career-best and season-leading 71 match wins and claimed eight titles this season.

    Alcaraz splits with long-time coach Ferrero

    Carlos Alcaraz has surprisingly split with his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero after seven years working together.

    Alcaraz has worked with Ferrero – who won the French Open as a player in 2003 – since he was a teenager, winning all of his 24 career titles alongside him.

    That includes six grand slam triumphs, two of which came this year at Roland-Garros and the US Open, and eight ATP 1000 crowns.

    Alcaraz was just 15 when he started working with Ferrero, with their partnership ending after he secured the year-end number one spot for the second time (also 2022).

    No reason was given for the spilt as Alcaraz announced the news via a statement on social media, which read: "Thank you for turning childhood dreams into realities.

    TURIN, Italy — Carlos Alcaraz is one win away from securing the year-ending No. 1 ranking.

    Alcaraz rallied past Taylor Fritz 6-7 (2), 7-5, 6-3 on Tuesday at the ATP Finals and now needs to either win his final group match against Lorenzo Musetti or an eventual semifinal to finish a year No. 1 for the second time in his career.

    Alcaraz, who improved to 2-0 at the season-ending event for the top eight players, could seal a spot in the semifinals if Alex de Minaur beats Musetti later.

    Carlos Alcaraz has seized control of Alex de Minaur's group in the ATP Finals after coming back from a set down to defeat Taylor Fritz 6-7 (2-7) 7-5 6-3 in Turin.

    The world No.2 needed two hours, 48 minutes to see off the American and back up his first round victory over de Minaur.

    That left the Australian knowing if he can beat Lorenzo Musetti in the Jimmy Connors group's second match on Tuesday (local time) he would set up a winner-takes-all final group tie with Fritz as both chase a semi-final place.

    Alcaraz battles past Fritz to stay on course for year-end No. 1 at ATP Finals

    Turin, Nov 11 (IANS) Carlos Alcaraz kept his bid for a second year-end No. 1 ranking alive with a hard-fought comeback win over Taylor Fritz at the ATP Finals in Turin on Tuesday.

    The five-time Grand Slam champion recovered from a set down to defeat last year’s runner-up 6-7 (2/7), 7-5, 6-3, making it two wins from two in the Jimmy Connors Group.

    The victory puts Alcaraz within one win of securing the top spot in the ATP rankings for 2025. He will seal it if he beats Lorenzo Musetti in his final group match on Thursday.

    “I’m really happy that I was able to come back, find my good tennis,” Alcaraz said after the match. “I just tried to make the most of the opportunities that he gave to me. I think we played great tennis, some great points.”
