And so to the day after the night before. With the dramatic late capitulation of Serena Williams the women’s draw at the Australian Open has been blown wide open. Today we find out who will capitalise on that space.

Danielle Collins has had a fairytale run at the tournament, as the scourge of both Julia Goerges and Angelique Kerber looks to continue her remarkable run. Standing her way is Petra Kvitova who must certainly be eyeing a third grand slam with the biggest guns in the women’s draw falling before the semi finals.

We’ll have first action shortly, so put your kettle to the metal and clear your evenings, it’s women’s semi-finals action, live from Melbourne.
