Spizzirri presses Sinner in heat-soaked Melbourne clash
Unseeded Eliot Spizzirri won the opening set 6-4 against Jannik Sinner, Sinner hit back to take the second 6-3, and the third set was under way with Spizzirri grabbing an early lead as the brutal heat tested both players; earlier in the day Amanda Anisimova, Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula advanced, and Luciano Darderi beat Karen Khachanov in four sets to reach a likely fourth‑round meeting with the Sinner/Spizzirri winner.
