Play on Wednesday in Melbourne will actually get underway on Tuesday evening in the United States, and will run through the early hours of Wednesday morning. Television coverage starts Tuesday evening on the Tennis Channel from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET. Then ESPN2 will pick up coverage through 2 a.m., and then again at 3 a.m. through 6 a.m.
The headline match on the day will pit men’s third seed Milos Raonic against ninth seed Rafael Nadal. It will begin at 3:30 a.m. ET in the United States. Raonic is the highest-seeded man remaining with both Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic out of the tournament.
On the other side, women’s second seed Serena Williams will be taking on ninth seed Johanna Konta. That will be the second matchup on the day. The first will feature fifth seed Karolina Pliskova and Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in Rod Laver Arena.
The third match will be the other men’s quarterfinal, featuring No. 11 seed David Goffin and No. 15 seed Grigor Dimitrov.
For the women, the first semifinal will feature No. 13 Venus Williams up against the unseeded Coco Vandeweghe, who has eliminated both top seed Angelique Kerber and seventh seed Garbine Muguruza thus far.
On the men’s side, the one semifinal that’s already been determined will feature fourth seed Stan Wawrinka taking on 17th seed Roger Federer. Going into the Australian Open, the big question was whether or not Federer or Nadal, who were hampered by injury in 2016, would look fresh and competitive with the other top seeds, especially Djokovic and Murray.
And now Federer and Nadal are the only of that group remaining. Below is a look at the singles matches and how you can watch them on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, or Day 10 of the Australian Open.
