First, some good news for British tennis fans to wake up to... Neal Skupski and his American partner Christian Harrison claimed the Australian Open men's doubles title in their first Grand Slam together.

Skupski, 36, and Harrison, 31, defeated Australian wildcards Jason Kubler and Marc Polmans 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 in the final earlier on Saturday.

It is a second Grand Slam men's doubles crown for Skupski, who won the Wimbledon title alongside Dutchman Wesley Koolhof in 2023.

It is also the third time in the past five Grand Slams that at least one British player has triumphed in the men's doubles.

Henry Patten won at last year's Australian Open alongside Finland's Harri Heliovaara, while the all-British pair of Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool were victorious at Wimbledon.

Good morning and welcome to coverage of the women's singles final at the 2026 Australian Open.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka has dominated this tournament in recent times. She won it in 2023 and 2024, then was beaten in last year's final.

Trying to stop her winning a third Melbourne title in four years is former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, who is aiming to win her second Grand Slam crown.

Play will get under way in about 30 minutes - but we've got plenty to get through before then...
