Cilic serves wide, and jogs in to tuck away a simple winner back across the court. A huge ace out wide is next. That’s 30-0. Another sizeable serve is hammered down by the Croatian, and that’s 40-0. Then a second serve is returned strongly by Ruud, and Cilic flops a backhand into the net as the match clock ticks past three hours.

Then a second serve for Cilic and a hush settles on the arena … he soon sends a forehand wind and it’s game over! The players meet at the net and shake hands. Ruud back from the dead in that fourth set, and in that game from 40-0 down.

Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

Her scheduled opponent, Australia’s Maddison Inglis, receives a bye into the last 16.

The Dutchman chooses to come to the net again at 0-15. The volley isn’t terrible, but Djokovic’s movement is so good, the ball seems to sit up for him as he runs it down. He clips a winner cross-court, on the move, and then spreads his arms wide like a plane, or maybe a bird, as he decelerates and celebrates. He’s adding a bit of Freddie Mercury showmanship now, which is a very worrying sign for Van de Zandschulp.

Then a big chance at 30-30 for the world No 75 to apply pressure but he’s maybe a bit tentative. Djokovic double faults with the set firmly in his sights … but then steadies the ship with a big serve out wide and clinches it.

Novak Djokovic made short work of his opponents in rounds one and two: Pedro Martínez and then Francesco Maestrelli were dismissed in straight sets, with identical scorelines: 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. The Serbian would certainly take the same today against the dangerous world No 75 Botic van de Zandschulp, who beat him at Indian Wells last year, and has taken out Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in the past couple of seasons.

Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, is yet to drop a set herself, although she had to win a first-round tiebreak against Yuan Yue on Monday, eventually coming through 7-5, 6-3. Marie Bouzkova was safely dispatched in the second round on Thursday, 6-2, 6-3, and today the Polish second seed will need to raise her game against Anna Kalinskaya of Russia, seeded 31.

Saturday’s reports and reaction

Laura Robson, the presenter on TNT Sports, describes it as “pure kismet” that Jannik Sinner’s match against Eliot Spizzirri was halted when it was due to extreme heat. The Italian was cramping badly at the time and said afterwards that he “got lucky”.

Below you will find links to all our Australian Open news pieces from today, including a report on Naomi Osaka’s injury-enforced withdrawal. Stan Wawrinka also bowed out today, at 40, after a four-set defeat by Taylor Fritz.

“I had so many emotions here the last 20 years because of you guys,” Wawrinka told the crowd after his loss. “It’s been an amazing journey. I won my first grand slam here. I’ve always enjoyed being back, so much support, and the reason I was still playing is because of you, because of the love of the game, the emotion you can give me. I’m sad to leave but it’s been an amazing journey.

“All those years, guys, I saw you enjoying the tennis, I saw you supporting us, I saw you drinking [he laughs and so do the fans] – the other day I told you about it – and now I can enjoy. If you don’t mind I would like to share a beer with Craig [Tiley, tournament director].”

Wawrinka then went to the drinks box and grabbed a couple of cans, one for him and one for Tiley, and they have a drink. A nice way to bow out. (Apparently, it was ginger beer).

The Australian Open’s clique of champions didn’t have it easy on Saturday. Jannik Sinner survived despite severe cramps. Novak Djokovic was almost disqualified for a near miss with a ballgirl. Stan Wawrinka played at Melbourne Park for the last time. And Naomi Osaka was an 11th-hour withdrawal from her third round clash with an abdomen complaint.

By comparison, Australian Maddison Inglis – the unheralded qualifier who at 28 is still hoping to crack the top 100 – had it easy. After the walkover from the Osaka match, Inglis waltzes into the fourth round and a clash with the No 2 seed Iga Swiatek, a week after she was almost eliminated in the first round of qualifying. “I was down two match points in that match,” she told Channel Nine. “Tennis is pretty crazy like that.”

“I’m definitely relieved,” Ruud tells the on-court interviewer Barbara Schett. “Marin is a tremendous player, still at 37 or 38, he still rips the ball, plays so well, and it’s amazing to see. He’s had an incredible career, a finalist here, won the US Open final, a final at Wimbledon, the semis at Roland Garros, so he’s almost “run” all the grand slams. So it’s really really tough matches against him always, but yeah like you said, super-happy not to be out there in the fifth with him at this point. Happy to be talking to you instead.

What was his mindset when down a break in the fourth?

“I didn’t have many break chances since the second set, so I was kind of frustrated with not even getting any chances … not being able to play in his service games. I was thinking: ‘Fifth, here we go’ and was getting ready for a tough deciding set. But suddenly a few mistakes came out of his racket, and I was there to put one extra ball in, and luckily I had a few points that went my way, and that’s how tennis is.”

Ruud hit 25 aces today – his record.

“Yeah, wow. Becoming a serve-bot. It’s not typical that I get 25 free points in a match with my serve. So my shoulder is working, yeah, let’s hopefully keep it going. Next match I am playing someone who, if he has a bad serving day, has 25 aces [No 8 seed Ben Shelton] so it’s going to be really tough.”

Maria, Ruud’s fiancee, is about to have a baby. Schett asks about her potential stress levels back at home.

“Yeah, I hope I didn’t stress her too much tonight,” Ruud says. “Even though I was pretty stressed myself. I can’t really control how the matches go. Hopefully she stays in there, and in a few days I’ll get to see her, whenever I’m done here, or if I get a call I’m going to be on the way back home. So I have to say a huge thank you to Maria, she’s back home, patient, and letting me be here, so if she’s watching, I just want to let her know that I’ll be home soon.”

Barbara Schett starts talking names for their imminent daughter and suggests some Australian Open-themed options such as Margaret, Evonne – or Barbara.

“You know, we’ve been through 200 different names and we haven’t really settled one yet, so anything is up for grabs,” says Ruud. “But not sure if Margaret is the one we will go for. Daphne is a nice name. Not sure how that would work in Norway. We’ll find something out. Could be Daphne, could be Barbara, who knows? We’re up for suggestions. We’re going to wait to see her, and see if a name is more suiting.”

Then he’s off.

Ruud beats Cilic! 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7

Cilic serves wide, and jogs in to tuck away a simple winner back across the court. A huge ace out wide is next. That’s 30-0. Another sizeable serve is hammered down by the Croatian, and that’s 40-0. Then a second serve is returned strongly by Ruud, and Cilic flops a backhand into the net as the match clock ticks past three hours.

Two gynormous forehands by Ruud leave Cilic standing next up, and that’s 40-30, and then a double fault, and it’s deuce – the Norwegian suddenly two points away from victory.

Cilic nails a massive serve down the middle – but Ruud, showing the defensive instincts of Novak, gets the ball back and then takes control of the rally and wins the point! That’s match point!

Then a second serve for Cilic and a hush settles on the arena … he soon sends a forehand wind and it’s game over! The players meet at the net and shake hands. Ruud back from the dead in that fourth set, and in that game from 40-0 down.

Ruud playing some nice stuff and I’m sure he’ll have a chat now, including on the impending arrival back at home …

Thanks Billy. Ruud races to 40-0 and Cilic obligingly spoons a forehand return wide to end the game with little fuss. It seemed like a five-setter was in the offing, but now Cilic has to serve to save his skin.

Cilic gobbles up a short return from Ruud at 30-15 up to set up game point. Ruud’s return is long and this fourth set goes on. Luke McLaughlin is back to see you through.

Ruud breezes through his service game and, after holding the upper hand in this fourth set, Cilic finds himself serving to stay in the Australian Open.

Cilic 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 4-4 *Ruud (*next server)

Ruud breaks back! Cilic shows some signs of nerves as he misjudges a volley at 30-0 up and then sweeps a backhand well wide for 30-30. A double fault follows and then another backhand goes awry. A gift for Ruud, really.

Cilic* 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 4-3 Ruud (*next server)

Cilic breaks! Ruud wobbles on serve and finds himself at 0-30. A commanding crosscourt forehand sets up three break points for Cilic – he snaps up the first as Ruud goes long with a backhand. The 37-year-old is in the groove now.

Cilic 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 2-2 *Ruud (*next server)

A chance arises for Ruud as Cilic double faults at 15-15. An ace follows for 30-30. Then another thunderous serve sets up a net approach and a second point in a row. Ruud then clears the baseline and shows his frustration at an opportunity lost to break.

Just one of the day’s big stories: Naomi Osaka withdrawing due to injury.

Ruud wins the second set v Cilic 4-6, 4-6

Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

Some more elite serving from the Norwegian. He is playing very fluently and with beautiful rhythm. Cilic must serve to stay in the second set.

Cilic 4-6, 3-4 *Ruud (*denotes next server)

Cilic starts off with a confident serve and volley, the volley being an overhead smash that wins the point quicksmart. A wild backhand return from Ruud, on Cilic’s second serve, makes it 40-15, and an ace seals it.

It’s approaching 11pm in Melbourne, and the temperature has dropped to about 29C. If the forecast is correct, Tuesday will see daytime temperatures into the early 40s.

  Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

  Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

  Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

  Rybakina, the No 5 seed, rounds it off with a typically power-packed forehand cross-court. I didn’t see much of that but it looked like a mismatch based on the final game. Rybakina’s power is too much for most and she’s through to the last 16.

  Novak Djokovic made short work of his opponents in rounds one and two: Pedro Martínez and then Francesco Maestrelli were dismissed in straight sets, with identical scorelines: 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. The Serbian would certainly take the same today against the dangerous world No 75 Botic van de Zandschulp, who beat him at Indian Wells last year, and has taken out Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in the past couple of seasons.

  Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, is yet to drop a set herself, although she had to win a first-round tiebreak against Yuan Yue on Monday, eventually coming through 7-5, 6-3. Marie Bouzkova was safely dispatched in the second round on Thursday, 6-2, 6-3, and today the Polish second seed will need to raise her game against Anna Kalinskaya of Russia, seeded 31.

  Saturday’s reports and reaction

  Laura Robson, the presenter on TNT Sports, describes it as “pure kismet” that Jannik Sinner’s match against Eliot Spizzirri was halted when it was due to extreme heat. The Italian was cramping badly at the time and said afterwards that he “got lucky”.

  Below you will find links to all our Australian Open news pieces from today, including a report on Naomi Osaka’s injury-enforced withdrawal. Stan Wawrinka also bowed out today, at 40, after a four-set defeat by Taylor Fritz.

  “I had so many emotions here the last 20 years because of you guys,” Wawrinka told the crowd after his loss. “It’s been an amazing journey. I won my first grand slam here. I’ve always enjoyed being back, so much support, and the reason I was still playing is because of you, because of the love of the game, the emotion you can give me. I’m sad to leave but it’s been an amazing journey.

  “All those years, guys, I saw you enjoying the tennis, I saw you supporting us, I saw you drinking [he laughs and so do the fans] – the other day I told you about it – and now I can enjoy. If you don’t mind I would like to share a beer with Craig [Tiley, tournament director].”

  Wawrinka then went to the drinks box and grabbed a couple of cans, one for him and one for Tiley, and they have a drink. A nice way to bow out. (Apparently, it was ginger beer).

  The Australian Open’s clique of champions didn’t have it easy on Saturday. Jannik Sinner survived despite severe cramps. Novak Djokovic was almost disqualified for a near miss with a ballgirl. Stan Wawrinka played at Melbourne Park for the last time. And Naomi Osaka was an 11th-hour withdrawal from her third round clash with an abdomen complaint.

  By comparison, Australian Maddison Inglis – the unheralded qualifier who at 28 is still hoping to crack the top 100 – had it easy. After the walkover from the Osaka match, Inglis waltzes into the fourth round and a clash with the No 2 seed Iga Swiatek, a week after she was almost eliminated in the first round of qualifying. “I was down two match points in that match,” she told Channel Nine. “Tennis is pretty crazy like that.”

  “I’m definitely relieved,” Ruud tells the on-court interviewer Barbara Schett. “Marin is a tremendous player, still at 37 or 38, he still rips the ball, plays so well, and it’s amazing to see. He’s had an incredible career, a finalist here, won the US Open final, a final at Wimbledon, the semis at Roland Garros, so he’s almost “run” all the grand slams. So it’s really really tough matches against him always, but yeah like you said, super-happy not to be out there in the fifth with him at this point. Happy to be talking to you instead.

  What was his mindset when down a break in the fourth?

  “I didn’t have many break chances since the second set, so I was kind of frustrated with not even getting any chances … not being able to play in his service games. I was thinking: ‘Fifth, here we go’ and was getting ready for a tough deciding set. But suddenly a few mistakes came out of his racket, and I was there to put one extra ball in, and luckily I had a few points that went my way, and that’s how tennis is.”

  Casper Ruud of Norway celebrates. Photograph: Lukas Coch/AAP

  Ruud hit 25 aces today – his record.

  “Yeah, wow. Becoming a serve-bot. It’s not typical that I get 25 free points in a match with my serve. So my shoulder is working, yeah, let’s hopefully keep it going. Next match I am playing someone who, if he has a bad serving day, has 25 aces [No 8 seed Ben Shelton] so it’s going to be really tough.”

  Maria, Ruud’s fiancee, is about to have a baby. Schett asks about her potential stress levels back at home.

  “Yeah, I hope I didn’t stress her too much tonight,” Ruud says. “Even though I was pretty stressed myself. I can’t really control how the matches go. Hopefully she stays in there, and in a few days I’ll get to see her, whenever I’m done here, or if I get a call I’m going to be on the way back home. So I have to say a huge thank you to Maria, she’s back home, patient, and letting me be here, so if she’s watching, I just want to let her know that I’ll be home soon.”

  Barbara Schett starts talking names for their imminent daughter and suggests some Australian Open-themed options such as Margaret, Evonne – or Barbara.

  “You know, we’ve been through 200 different names and we haven’t really settled one yet, so anything is up for grabs,” says Ruud. “But not sure if Margaret is the one we will go for. Daphne is a nice name. Not sure how that would work in Norway. We’ll find something out. Could be Daphne, could be Barbara, who knows? We’re up for suggestions. We’re going to wait to see her, and see if a name is more suiting.”

  Then he’s off.

  Ruud beats Cilic! 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7

  Cilic serves wide, and jogs in to tuck away a simple winner back across the court. A huge ace out wide is next. That’s 30-0. Another sizeable serve is hammered down by the Croatian, and that’s 40-0. Then a second serve is returned strongly by Ruud, and Cilic flops a backhand into the net as the match clock ticks past three hours.

  Two gynormous forehands by Ruud leave Cilic standing next up, and that’s 40-30, and then a double fault, and it’s deuce – the Norwegian suddenly two points away from victory.

  Cilic nails a massive serve down the middle – but Ruud, showing the defensive instincts of Novak, gets the ball back and then takes control of the rally and wins the point! That’s match point!

  Then a second serve for Cilic and a hush settles on the arena … he soon sends a forehand wind and it’s game over! The players meet at the net and shake hands. Ruud back from the dead in that fourth set, and in that game from 40-0 down.

  Ruud playing some nice stuff and I’m sure he’ll have a chat now, including on the impending arrival back at home …

  Thanks Billy. Ruud races to 40-0 and Cilic obligingly spoons a forehand return wide to end the game with little fuss. It seemed like a five-setter was in the offing, but now Cilic has to serve to save his skin.

  Ruud breaks back! Cilic shows some signs of nerves as he misjudges a volley at 30-0 up and then sweeps a backhand well wide for 30-30. A double fault follows and then another backhand goes awry. A gift for Ruud, really.

  Cilic* 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 4-3 Ruud (*next server)

  Cilic breaks! Ruud wobbles on serve and finds himself at 0-30. A commanding crosscourt forehand sets up three break points for Cilic – he snaps up the first as Ruud goes long with a backhand. The 37-year-old is in the groove now.

  A chance arises for Ruud as Cilic double faults at 15-15. An ace follows for 30-30. Then another thunderous serve sets up a net approach and a second point in a row. Ruud then clears the baseline and shows his frustration at an opportunity lost to break.

  Cilic* 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 1-2 Ruud (*next server)

  After a let and a first serve into the net, Ruud aces a second serve down the T to hold to 15. It’s approaching midnight in Melbourne.

  Ruud wins the second set v Cilic 4-6, 4-6

  Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

  Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

  Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

  Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

  Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

  Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

  Rybakina, the No 5 seed, rounds it off with a typically power-packed forehand cross-court. I didn’t see much of that but it looked like a mismatch based on the final game. Rybakina’s power is too much for most and she’s through to the last 16.

  Novak Djokovic made short work of his opponents in rounds one and two: Pedro Martínez and then Francesco Maestrelli were dismissed in straight sets, with identical scorelines: 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. The Serbian would certainly take the same today against the dangerous world No 75 Botic van de Zandschulp, who beat him at Indian Wells last year, and has taken out Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in the past couple of seasons.

  Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, is yet to drop a set herself, although she had to win a first-round tiebreak against Yuan Yue on Monday, eventually coming through 7-5, 6-3. Marie Bouzkova was safely dispatched in the second round on Thursday, 6-2, 6-3, and today the Polish second seed will need to raise her game against Anna Kalinskaya of Russia, seeded 31.

  Saturday’s reports and reaction

  Laura Robson, the presenter on TNT Sports, describes it as “pure kismet” that Jannik Sinner’s match against Eliot Spizzirri was halted when it was due to extreme heat. The Italian was cramping badly at the time and said afterwards that he “got lucky”.

  Below you will find links to all our Australian Open news pieces from today, including a report on Naomi Osaka’s injury-enforced withdrawal. Stan Wawrinka also bowed out today, at 40, after a four-set defeat by Taylor Fritz.

  “I had so many emotions here the last 20 years because of you guys,” Wawrinka told the crowd after his loss. “It’s been an amazing journey. I won my first grand slam here. I’ve always enjoyed being back, so much support, and the reason I was still playing is because of you, because of the love of the game, the emotion you can give me. I’m sad to leave but it’s been an amazing journey.

  “All those years, guys, I saw you enjoying the tennis, I saw you supporting us, I saw you drinking [he laughs and so do the fans] – the other day I told you about it – and now I can enjoy. If you don’t mind I would like to share a beer with Craig [Tiley, tournament director].”

  Wawrinka then went to the drinks box and grabbed a couple of cans, one for him and one for Tiley, and they have a drink. A nice way to bow out. (Apparently, it was ginger beer).

  The Australian Open’s clique of champions didn’t have it easy on Saturday. Jannik Sinner survived despite severe cramps. Novak Djokovic was almost disqualified for a near miss with a ballgirl. Stan Wawrinka played at Melbourne Park for the last time. And Naomi Osaka was an 11th-hour withdrawal from her third round clash with an abdomen complaint.

  By comparison, Australian Maddison Inglis – the unheralded qualifier who at 28 is still hoping to crack the top 100 – had it easy. After the walkover from the Osaka match, Inglis waltzes into the fourth round and a clash with the No 2 seed Iga Swiatek, a week after she was almost eliminated in the first round of qualifying. “I was down two match points in that match,” she told Channel Nine. “Tennis is pretty crazy like that.”

  “I’m definitely relieved,” Ruud tells the on-court interviewer Barbara Schett. “Marin is a tremendous player, still at 37 or 38, he still rips the ball, plays so well, and it’s amazing to see. He’s had an incredible career, a finalist here, won the US Open final, a final at Wimbledon, the semis at Roland Garros, so he’s almost “run” all the grand slams. So it’s really really tough matches against him always, but yeah like you said, super-happy not to be out there in the fifth with him at this point. Happy to be talking to you instead.

  What was his mindset when down a break in the fourth?

  “I didn’t have many break chances since the second set, so I was kind of frustrated with not even getting any chances … not being able to play in his service games. I was thinking: ‘Fifth, here we go’ and was getting ready for a tough deciding set. But suddenly a few mistakes came out of his racket, and I was there to put one extra ball in, and luckily I had a few points that went my way, and that’s how tennis is.”

  Casper Ruud of Norway celebrates. Photograph: Lukas Coch/AAP

  Ruud hit 25 aces today – his record.

  “Yeah, wow. Becoming a serve-bot. It’s not typical that I get 25 free points in a match with my serve. So my shoulder is working, yeah, let’s hopefully keep it going. Next match I am playing someone who, if he has a bad serving day, has 25 aces [No 8 seed Ben Shelton] so it’s going to be really tough.”

  Maria, Ruud’s fiancee, is about to have a baby. Schett asks about her potential stress levels back at home.

  “Yeah, I hope I didn’t stress her too much tonight,” Ruud says. “Even though I was pretty stressed myself. I can’t really control how the matches go. Hopefully she stays in there, and in a few days I’ll get to see her, whenever I’m done here, or if I get a call I’m going to be on the way back home. So I have to say a huge thank you to Maria, she’s back home, patient, and letting me be here, so if she’s watching, I just want to let her know that I’ll be home soon.”

  Barbara Schett starts talking names for their imminent daughter and suggests some Australian Open-themed options such as Margaret, Evonne – or Barbara.

  “You know, we’ve been through 200 different names and we haven’t really settled one yet, so anything is up for grabs,” says Ruud. “But not sure if Margaret is the one we will go for. Daphne is a nice name. Not sure how that would work in Norway. We’ll find something out. Could be Daphne, could be Barbara, who knows? We’re up for suggestions. We’re going to wait to see her, and see if a name is more suiting.”

  Then he’s off.

  Ruud beats Cilic! 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7

  Cilic serves wide, and jogs in to tuck away a simple winner back across the court. A huge ace out wide is next. That’s 30-0. Another sizeable serve is hammered down by the Croatian, and that’s 40-0. Then a second serve is returned strongly by Ruud, and Cilic flops a backhand into the net as the match clock ticks past three hours.

  Two gynormous forehands by Ruud leave Cilic standing next up, and that’s 40-30, and then a double fault, and it’s deuce – the Norwegian suddenly two points away from victory.

  Cilic nails a massive serve down the middle – but Ruud, showing the defensive instincts of Novak, gets the ball back and then takes control of the rally and wins the point! That’s match point!

  Then a second serve for Cilic and a hush settles on the arena … he soon sends a forehand wind and it’s game over! The players meet at the net and shake hands. Ruud back from the dead in that fourth set, and in that game from 40-0 down.

  Ruud playing some nice stuff and I’m sure he’ll have a chat now, including on the impending arrival back at home …

  Thanks Billy. Ruud races to 40-0 and Cilic obligingly spoons a forehand return wide to end the game with little fuss. It seemed like a five-setter was in the offing, but now Cilic has to serve to save his skin.

  Ruud breaks back! Cilic shows some signs of nerves as he misjudges a volley at 30-0 up and then sweeps a backhand well wide for 30-30. A double fault follows and then another backhand goes awry. A gift for Ruud, really.

  Cilic* 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 4-3 Ruud (*next server)

  Cilic breaks! Ruud wobbles on serve and finds himself at 0-30. A commanding crosscourt forehand sets up three break points for Cilic – he snaps up the first as Ruud goes long with a backhand. The 37-year-old is in the groove now.

  A chance arises for Ruud as Cilic double faults at 15-15. An ace follows for 30-30. Then another thunderous serve sets up a net approach and a second point in a row. Ruud then clears the baseline and shows his frustration at an opportunity lost to break.

  Cilic* 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 1-2 Ruud (*next server)

  After a let and a first serve into the net, Ruud aces a second serve down the T to hold to 15. It’s approaching midnight in Melbourne.

  Ruud wins the second set v Cilic 4-6, 4-6

  Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

  Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

  Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

  Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

  Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

  Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

  Rybakina, the No 5 seed, rounds it off with a typically power-packed forehand cross-court. I didn’t see much of that but it looked like a mismatch based on the final game. Rybakina’s power is too much for most and she’s through to the last 16.

  Novak Djokovic made short work of his opponents in rounds one and two: Pedro Martínez and then Francesco Maestrelli were dismissed in straight sets, with identical scorelines: 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. The Serbian would certainly take the same today against the dangerous world No 75 Botic van de Zandschulp, who beat him at Indian Wells last year, and has taken out Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in the past couple of seasons.

  Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, is yet to drop a set herself, although she had to win a first-round tiebreak against Yuan Yue on Monday, eventually coming through 7-5, 6-3. Marie Bouzkova was safely dispatched in the second round on Thursday, 6-2, 6-3, and today the Polish second seed will need to raise her game against Anna Kalinskaya of Russia, seeded 31.

  Saturday’s reports and reaction

  Laura Robson, the presenter on TNT Sports, describes it as “pure kismet” that Jannik Sinner’s match against Eliot Spizzirri was halted when it was due to extreme heat. The Italian was cramping badly at the time and said afterwards that he “got lucky”.

  Below you will find links to all our Australian Open news pieces from today, including a report on Naomi Osaka’s injury-enforced withdrawal. Stan Wawrinka also bowed out today, at 40, after a four-set defeat by Taylor Fritz.

  “I had so many emotions here the last 20 years because of you guys,” Wawrinka told the crowd after his loss. “It’s been an amazing journey. I won my first grand slam here. I’ve always enjoyed being back, so much support, and the reason I was still playing is because of you, because of the love of the game, the emotion you can give me. I’m sad to leave but it’s been an amazing journey.

  “All those years, guys, I saw you enjoying the tennis, I saw you supporting us, I saw you drinking [he laughs and so do the fans] – the other day I told you about it – and now I can enjoy. If you don’t mind I would like to share a beer with Craig [Tiley, tournament director].”

  Wawrinka then went to the drinks box and grabbed a couple of cans, one for him and one for Tiley, and they have a drink. A nice way to bow out. (Apparently, it was ginger beer).

  The Australian Open’s clique of champions didn’t have it easy on Saturday. Jannik Sinner survived despite severe cramps. Novak Djokovic was almost disqualified for a near miss with a ballgirl. Stan Wawrinka played at Melbourne Park for the last time. And Naomi Osaka was an 11th-hour withdrawal from her third round clash with an abdomen complaint.

  By comparison, Australian Maddison Inglis – the unheralded qualifier who at 28 is still hoping to crack the top 100 – had it easy. After the walkover from the Osaka match, Inglis waltzes into the fourth round and a clash with the No 2 seed Iga Swiatek, a week after she was almost eliminated in the first round of qualifying. “I was down two match points in that match,” she told Channel Nine. “Tennis is pretty crazy like that.”

  “I’m definitely relieved,” Ruud tells the on-court interviewer Barbara Schett. “Marin is a tremendous player, still at 37 or 38, he still rips the ball, plays so well, and it’s amazing to see. He’s had an incredible career, a finalist here, won the US Open final, a final at Wimbledon, the semis at Roland Garros, so he’s almost “run” all the grand slams. So it’s really really tough matches against him always, but yeah like you said, super-happy not to be out there in the fifth with him at this point. Happy to be talking to you instead.

  What was his mindset when down a break in the fourth?

  “I didn’t have many break chances since the second set, so I was kind of frustrated with not even getting any chances … not being able to play in his service games. I was thinking: ‘Fifth, here we go’ and was getting ready for a tough deciding set. But suddenly a few mistakes came out of his racket, and I was there to put one extra ball in, and luckily I had a few points that went my way, and that’s how tennis is.”

  Casper Ruud of Norway celebrates. Photograph: Lukas Coch/AAP

  Ruud hit 25 aces today – his record.

  “Yeah, wow. Becoming a serve-bot. It’s not typical that I get 25 free points in a match with my serve. So my shoulder is working, yeah, let’s hopefully keep it going. Next match I am playing someone who, if he has a bad serving day, has 25 aces [No 8 seed Ben Shelton] so it’s going to be really tough.”

  Maria, Ruud’s fiancee, is about to have a baby. Schett asks about her potential stress levels back at home.

  “Yeah, I hope I didn’t stress her too much tonight,” Ruud says. “Even though I was pretty stressed myself. I can’t really control how the matches go. Hopefully she stays in there, and in a few days I’ll get to see her, whenever I’m done here, or if I get a call I’m going to be on the way back home. So I have to say a huge thank you to Maria, she’s back home, patient, and letting me be here, so if she’s watching, I just want to let her know that I’ll be home soon.”

  Barbara Schett starts talking names for their imminent daughter and suggests some Australian Open-themed options such as Margaret, Evonne – or Barbara.

  “You know, we’ve been through 200 different names and we haven’t really settled one yet, so anything is up for grabs,” says Ruud. “But not sure if Margaret is the one we will go for. Daphne is a nice name. Not sure how that would work in Norway. We’ll find something out. Could be Daphne, could be Barbara, who knows? We’re up for suggestions. We’re going to wait to see her, and see if a name is more suiting.”

  Then he’s off.

  Ruud beats Cilic! 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 5-7

  Cilic serves wide, and jogs in to tuck away a simple winner back across the court. A huge ace out wide is next. That’s 30-0. Another sizeable serve is hammered down by the Croatian, and that’s 40-0. Then a second serve is returned strongly by Ruud, and Cilic flops a backhand into the net as the match clock ticks past three hours.

  Two gynormous forehands by Ruud leave Cilic standing next up, and that’s 40-30, and then a double fault, and it’s deuce – the Norwegian suddenly two points away from victory.

  Cilic nails a massive serve down the middle – but Ruud, showing the defensive instincts of Novak, gets the ball back and then takes control of the rally and wins the point! That’s match point!

  Then a second serve for Cilic and a hush settles on the arena … he soon sends a forehand wind and it’s game over! The players meet at the net and shake hands. Ruud back from the dead in that fourth set, and in that game from 40-0 down.

  Ruud playing some nice stuff and I’m sure he’ll have a chat now, including on the impending arrival back at home …

  Thanks Billy. Ruud races to 40-0 and Cilic obligingly spoons a forehand return wide to end the game with little fuss. It seemed like a five-setter was in the offing, but now Cilic has to serve to save his skin.

  Cilic 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 5-5 *Ruud (*next server)

  Cilic gobbles up a short return from Ruud at 30-15 up to set up game point. Ruud’s return is long and this fourth set goes on. Luke McLaughlin is back to see you through.

  Cilic 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 4-4 *Ruud (*next server)

  Ruud breaks back! Cilic shows some signs of nerves as he misjudges a volley at 30-0 up and then sweeps a backhand well wide for 30-30. A double fault follows and then another backhand goes awry. A gift for Ruud, really.

  Cilic* 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 4-3 Ruud (*next server)

  Cilic breaks! Ruud wobbles on serve and finds himself at 0-30. A commanding crosscourt forehand sets up three break points for Cilic – he snaps up the first as Ruud goes long with a backhand. The 37-year-old is in the groove now.

  Cilic 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 2-2 *Ruud (*next server)

  A chance arises for Ruud as Cilic double faults at 15-15. An ace follows for 30-30. Then another thunderous serve sets up a net approach and a second point in a row. Ruud then clears the baseline and shows his frustration at an opportunity lost to break.

  Cilic* 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 1-2 Ruud (*next server)

  After a let and a first serve into the net, Ruud aces a second serve down the T to hold to 15. It’s approaching midnight in Melbourne.

  Cilic smacks a forehand crosscourt at a devilish angle to go 30-15 up but Ruud hangs on in there. The No 12 seed wastes a chance at 30-30 with an overhit backhand and Cilic seals the game with an ace.

  Ruud wins the second set v Cilic 4-6, 4-6

  Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

  Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

  Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

  Cilic 4-6, 4-5 *Ruud (*denotes next server)
