Vomit, tears and jellyfish: Star weeps after brutal injury
SEN • January 21st, 2026 9:55 am
Welcome back to our coverage of the first grand slam of the year.
We're going to need players dressed as unicorns walking on court today to raise the same level of WTF as day three but it's the Aus Open - you just never know.
It's a huge day for the Aussies with Priscilla Hon and Alex de Minaur given the blockbuster timeslots on Rod Laver tonight. Aryna Sabalenka will get the action started on Rod Laver this morning and there are loads of other HUGE names in action.
We will bring you all the news, results and reaction as it happens.
TEARS, VOMIT AND JELLYFISH
There was action everywhere on day three at Melbourne Park but you'd be forgiven for missing anything after about 7pm when Naomi Osaka did her best to replace the Beckham family in social media algorithms.
The 28-year-old came close to breaking the internet when she walked on court dressed like a jellyfish on its wedding day, but there was plenty happening elsewhere.
Most notably, a heart warming and breaking moment on Rod Laver Arena in the hours which followed Osaka, when Jannik Sinner's opponent Hugo Gaston was reduced to tears as he retired from the match.
A heavy fall forced the Frenchman to bow out with a wrist injury and the world No. 93 was in clear distress in his seat, weeping into his towel as Sinner attempted to console him.
Menwhile, over on Margaret Court Arena, Stefanos Tsitsipas had his match halted after a ball kid vomited all over it.
The Greek God had lost the opening set to Shintaro Mochizuki before the umpire brought a temporary end to proceedings while staff attended to the ball kid in question and some poor person was left to clean up.
