Elena Rybakina is ranked sixteen places higher than her opponent. Neither player has yet dropped a set in this tournament. In their last five meetings, Rybakina has won them all, with four of those wins in straight sets.

Hopeful the temperature will not be as high today as it was in Jannik Sinner's last match, where he struggled with his physical condition. Darderi has dropped one set in each of his last two matches. If Sinner's body holds up, then every chance he will beat his opponent, who is ranked twenty-three places lower than himself.

The qualifier Inglis has done very well to reach this stage of the tournament. She had a bye in the last round after Osaka withdrew. Today she faces the number two seed, who is ranked 166 places higher than herself. Swiatek might not be at her very best, but should still be too strong for the Australian qualifier.

Iga ?wi?tek has won the opening set in all rounds at this year's Australian Open. In her opening round, Swiatek was taken to a tiebreak, but since then her opening set has seen her lose two games against Bouzková and only one game in her last match, which was against Kalinskaya.

In June 2024, Ambiente Friendly finished second to City of Troy in the English Derby. His last three races have been over hurdles, and he won at Huntingdon two races ago. He was unable to follow that up, finishing a disappointing sixth of seven. If he can rediscover the form from that Huntingdon win, Ambiente Friendly has every chance of returning to winning ways.

Yehudi has raced over today's course and distance three times, recording two thirds and one unplaced finish. Those three races were between September 2024 and April 2025. Since then, Yehudi has raced six times, four of those on turf and the last two on the all-weather. His last two races were over a mile; today he drops back to seven furlongs, and Billy Loughnane returns to the saddle. He once again races off a mark of sixty-two and, for the first time, is fitted with blinkers.
