As the Australian Open hits the business end of the tournament, Something Major is here to break down all the quarterfinal action from both the men’s and women’s draws.


On the men’s side, we kick off with Djokovic’s gritty win over Alcaraz before moving onto Shelton’s big-match energy, Zverev’s chances for a title and Jannik Sinner’s dominant performance over De Minaur. Is Sinner the favorite to win it all now? And can Zverev get his first Grand Slam win over Djokovic?


On the women’s side, we spotlight Sabalenka’s hard court dominance, Badosa’s surprising win over Coco, and Swiatek’s machine-like approach as she marches through the draw. Who is the current favorite? And can Madison Keys pull off the upset of the tournament with a semifinal showdown against Iga?


Last but not least, we close the show with a Snake Draft update (pickleball showdown pending!) and Aussie Open trivia.
