Naomi Osaka’s Australian Open dream ended in heartbreak as the 16th seed was forced to withdraw from the tournament just hours before her third-round clash against Australian Maddison Inglis in Saturday’s night session due to an abdominal injury.

Osaka pulling out was the biggest result in the women’s draw so far, with 10th seed Belinda Bencic previously holding that crown after a second-round defeat to 19-year-old Czech qualifier Nikola Bartunkova. Bencic was one of the in-form players in the women’s draw, having beaten Iga Swiatek on her way to starting the season 6-0, but was stunned by Bartunkova 6-3 0-6 6-4 on Thursday.

Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka are the top seeds for the tournament, with Jannik Sinner and Swiatek the second seeds as the first grand slam of the year gets underway. Alcaraz and Sinner could become the first men to play in four consecutive grand slam finals since Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal did so between 2011 and 2012. Alcaraz is bidding for his first Australian Open title - which would make the youngest man of all time to complete the career grand slam - while Sinner is on for a hat-trick of titles in Melbourne.

Sabalenka, the US Open champion, and Swiatek, the Wimbledon champion, have yet to meet in a grand slam final. Swiatek is also an Australian Open title away from completing the career grand slam while Sabalenka will be out to regain her crown after a shock defeat to Madison Keys in last year’s final.

Elsewhere, Coco Gauff is the women’s third seed, with defending champion Keys ninth on the women’s side. Djokovic, the record 10-time champion in Melbourne, is seeded fourth on the men’s side and would expect to face Sinner in the semi-finals if he gets there.
