We're very much at the business end of the Australian Open now with the battle between the world's best for a place in the quarter-finals beginning today.

15:18 CET - And that is it from another drama packed day in the Australian Open! It was a day in which we saw the top seeds on both the men's and women's draw coming into their own, teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva's (16) run came to an end and home favourite Alex De Minaur (24) knocked out in a five set thriller to Andrley Rublev (26). 

Looking ahead to tomorrow, we move into week two and the business end of the competiton. On the men's side of the draw the standout matches come from Cam Norrie (28) against Alexander Zverev (26) and world number two Carlos Alcaraz (20) takes on Miomir Kecmanovic (24) for a place in the quarter-final. 

Whilst on the women's side of the draw, Russian Victoria Azarenka (34) takes on Ukranian Dayana Yastremska (23) in what is likely to be an emotionally charged round of 16 encounter. 

13:32 CET - Andrey Rublev (25) has spoiled the party in Melbourne, beating Alex De Minaur (24) - the last Aussie standing - 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 6-3, 6-0 in a clash that lasted for over four hours. 

13:02 CET - As many would have expected, the clash between De Minaur and Rublev has gone to a fifth and final set, with the Russian winning the fourth to level things up. 

This Australian Open has now featured 31 five-set matches, the joint-most ever at a Grand Slam. 

11:14 CET - The final match of the day looks set to be a long one, with Alex De Minaur (24) levelling things up at a set apiece against Andrey Rublev (25) to send the home crowd wild.
