Follow Mail Sport's live blog for the latest score and game-by-game updates from the Australian Open as Alex de Minaur, Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek are all in quarter-final action. Good afternoon and we're back again here at Melbourne Park!. It's been a warm and windy day here at but the conditions are perfect for tennis and we've got a few big matches kicking off tonight.
Ben Shelton has just taken the first set against Lorenzo Sonego in their quarter-finals clash, which will be followed by the match of the evening with Jannik Sinner set to go head-to-head with Alex de Minuar at the Rod Laver Arena later tonight. But huge concerns are mounting over the Italian's fitness. It came after reports claimed yesterday that he had allegedly been 'suffering from pneumonia'.
It came after he was caught shaking uncontrollably during his victory against Holger Rune on Monday. The reigning Australian Open champion had left the court to receive medical treatment and had told his team that he was feeling dizzy. Despite that, Sinner has been back in practice this morning ahead of his match against De Minaur but the world No 1 is understood to have practised today in a behind-closed-doors session at Melbourne Park.
It is unknown the true reasoning behind the move and perhaps it may be a precaution to ensure no prying eyes can see him warming up ahead of tonight's crunch match. But the move has still attracted speculation and concern that he is still struggling with an illness.
