Only four players remain in either singles bracket at the 2016 Australian Open. Both top seeds, Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams, are still intact heading into the semifinals, as are the six people hoping to score an upset and win this year’s title in Melbourne.
Australian Open 2016: Schedule, TV coverage and live stream for Thursday
Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams and Roger Federer will all be in semifinal action on Thursday at the Australian Open.


On Thursday, three semifinal matches, including both women’s singles semifinals, will be played. The first will see Williams go up against her highest-seeded opposition, No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska. Both Simona Halep and Garbine Muguruza, the second and third seeds, respectively, fell earlier in the tournament.
That means Radwanska is technically Williams’ toughest opponent yet, but few believe anybody will be beating the world No. 1 this year.
Following that match, No. 7 seed Angelique Keber will face unseeded Johanna Konta in the other semifinal in the women’s bracket. The winner will face either Williams or Radwanska in the finals on Saturday.
The men’s finals will be split, with one on Thursday and one on Friday. First up, Djokovic will be taking on Roger Federer, the No. 3 seed that he has had quite a rivalry with over the past couple years. Djokovic faced Federer in the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open a season ago, so this is the third straight major they are playing each other, albeit one round earlier.
Play for Thursday will get underway on Wednesday evening in the United States. While things get started in Melbourne at 11 a.m. local time, folks will be able to tune in to the Tennis Channel at 7 p.m. ET to get watching. That coverage will run through 9:30 p.m., at which point it will shift to ESPN2, where it will remain until 2 a.m. It will shift away until 3:30 a.m., at which point it will pick back up until the matches are finished.
You can live stream the day's coverage on WatchESPN and Tennis Channel Live.
