Australian Open 2026 Highlights, Day 6: Medvedev Wins Against Marozsan; Zverev, De Minaur Clinch Victory

Hello, we are back with another live blog and it is Australian Open 2026, Day 6. Stay tuned for live updates!

On the Margaret Court Arena, Daniil Medvedev is in action against Fabian Marozsan as the Russian tries to get an upper-hand in the match.

One just cannot keep an eye off this! Sabalenka's match against Potapova has gone to 5-5 in the 1st set and it seems we'll have a tie-break. Similarly, Medvedev, who was struggling against Marozsan, is also tied 5-5 in the first set in the Men's singles third-round match.

11th seed Daniil Medvedev is being made to work hard and the Russian loses the first set to World No. 47 Fabian Marozsan at Margaret Court Arena. He goes down 7-6 (5-7). Big two sets coming up. 

We may see the 'mad' side of Daniil Medvedev as the Russian is famous to lose his temper on-court. The 11th-seed is now 1-4 down in the second set and is already trailing.

World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz has taken centre stage, getting his Round 3 battle against France’s Corentin Moutet underway. The Spanish star has raced to a 4-1 lead in the first set.

Carlos Alcaraz continues his domination as the world No. 1 sweeps past Corentin Moutet to take the opening set 6–2 in commanding fashion.

Daniil Medvedev doing Daniil Medvedev things! The Russian comes from two sets down, to take the match, 6-7 (5-7), 4-6, 7-5, 6-0, 6-3 in a dramatic 3 hour and 43 minutes.

Carlos Alcaraz has won his third round men's singles match at the Australian Open 2026. The World No. 1 wins his third-round match 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in two hours and five minutes. 

Men's doubles top seed Lloyd Glasspool/Julian Cash have been knocked out in the Round of 32 by Australian wildcards James McCabe/Li Tu. The AUS pair won  7-6, 6-4. Ashes memory repeated?

Another upset in the Mixed Doubles at the Australian Open 2026 sees top seed Sara Errani/Andrea Vavassori exit the tournament in their 6-4, 6-2 loss to Laura Siegemund/Edouard Roger-Vasselin in the Round of 32 clash.

On the other side, teenager Iva Jovic is up 5-2 in the first set against Jasmine Paolini.

No. 29 seed Iva Jovic is ready to fight it out with her Italian opponent Paolini, who sees the second set head to a tie-break.

First big upset of Australian Open 2026 is here and it's the seventh seed Jasmine Paolini, the two time Grand Slam runner-up, has been knocked out in the third round. 

She loses 6-2, 7-6 (3) to American Iva Jovic.

Tiafoe is currently battling Aussie De Minaur whereas Brit Cameron Norrie takes on Alexander Zverev in the third round clash.

Alex de Minaur has taken the first set against Frances Tiafoe whereas Alexander Zverev has continued his dominance by taking the first set with a 7-5 scoreline.

So far so good from Alex de Minaur as he looks locked in. He secures crucial break points in the second set, targeting the forehand of Frances Tiafoe and eventually closes the set down in his favour. He is leading 6-3, 6-4 now.

Elina Svitolina progresses to the next round following a comfortable 7-6 (7-4), 6-3 victory against Diana Shnaider. Svitolina's break in September seems to be working in her favour as she is in a winning streak now and is looking good.

Alexander Zverev and Cameron Norrie have been engaged in a competitive clash and Zverev manages to sneak his nose ahead after the third set. After losing the second set, he came back strong in the third, currently in a lead of 7-5, 4-6. 6-3.

Absolute dominance from Alex de Minaur. A valiant effort from Frances Tiafoe but it is not enough to get past Minaur today. Tiafoe took a break point, saved one later but Minaur took the third and Tiafoe ends up making a crucial error. The match goes in favour of Minaur 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. He enters the next round.

Alexander Zverev absolutely demolishes Cameron Norrie and enters the next round. Zverev has been dominant on the break points throughout the game and his job got easier in the last set when Norrie started to make more unforced errors. One-sided fourth set ends 6-1 in Zverev's favour and the final scoreline stands 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-1.

A hard-fought second set comes to an end as Alexander Bublik narrowly takes the tie-breaker. The set has been thrilling with both Bublik and his opposition Tomas Martin Etcheverry pushing ahead at times. Bublik seemed like closing in during the tie-breaker, but even then Etcheverry made a comeback. In the end, Bublik landed an ace to close it down.

Mirra Andreeva starts in a solid manner against Elena Gabriela Ruse as she takes the first set 6-3. She is going strong in the second as well, as she has taken a 3-2 lead already. She will want a straight-sets victory here in the third round.

After a competitive encounter in the first two sets, Alexander Bublik holds his own in the third and seals the victory. He wins 7-6 (7-4), 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 in the end. This will be the first time he will enter the round of 16 in Melbourne. Andreeva seals a comfortable victory in the end as well. She beats Elena Gabriela Ruse 6-3, 6-4.

With that, we conclude our coverage of today's Australian Open matches. We will be back tomorrow with live updates from Day 7 of the Melbourne Park Grand Slam. Until then, goodbye!
