The four-time major champion stunned the open ing Grand Slam of the year on Tuesday when she emerged onto centre court for her first-round match decked out in an audacious “jellyfish-inspired” outfit. Instead, it was all business on Margaret Court Arena, with the 28-year-old downing experienced Romanian Sorana Cirstea 6-3, 4-6, 5-2 in exactly two hours. The win put Osaka into a clash next with Australia’s 168th-ranked Maddison Inglis, who outlasted German veteran Laura Siegemund over three tight sets. “I tried to play well. I think I hit a lot of errors, but I tried my best,” she said. “She’s a great player. I think this was her last Australian Open. So sorry she was mad about it. “Honestly, I was just fighting as hard as I could. Just fighting,” she added. Osaka, who won the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021, laboured to a three-set win in her first round and it was more of the same against the 35-year-old Cirstea. An erratic Madison Keys did enough to keep her title defence on track and Iga Swiatek also triumphed. Keys blew hot and cold before getting over the line 6-1, 7-5 against fellow American Ashlyn Krueger. Keys, who upset Aryna Sabalenka in last year’s final, admitted after her laboured first-round win that she was a bundle of nerves and “too timid”. The 29-year-old threw off the shackles in the first set against the 92nd-ranked Krueger, taking it in just 23 minutes on John Cain Arena before having to rally from 2-5 in the second. “I started really well and Ash a little slowly,”said Keys, who began her season with quarter-final exits at Brisbane and Adelaide. “I fully expected her to raise her level and she did. It got away from me a bit.” She meets the experienced Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic next. – AFP/Reuters Osaka grinds past Cirstea to stay alive 322 Notices

Abhishek helps India beat NZ OPENER Abhishek Sharma struck 84 off 35 balls to set up a convincing 48-run win for India in the first of five T20 internationals against New Zealand yes terday. Abhishek smashed eight sixes to get India off to a flying start before a late unbeaten cameo of 44 by Rinku Singh helped the hosts reach 238-7 after being invited to bat first in Nagpur. New Zealand could only muster 190-7 in response as regular wickets helped India take a 1-0 lead in the warm-up series ahead of the T20 World Cup starting Feb 7 in India and Sri Lanka. “It’s not just how he bats in the games, but the way he prepares himself, the way he carries himself – I think all those things, small, small things, it reflects on the ground,” said India captain Suryakumar Yadav of Abhishek. “And he is enjoying the fruits of that.” “India is a very good team at home,” said Mitchell Santner. “We knew that. Their record the last two years is outstanding. And, yeah, it was a good game for us.” Bangladesh seek ‘miracle’ THE Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) will speak to the country’s interim government in a last-ditch attempt to secure the team’s participation in next month’s Twenty20 World Cup after their demand to shift their matches outside India was rejected yesterday. The International Cricket Council (ICC) board has dismissed Bangladesh’s concerns about the safety and security of their players and fans in India, citing political tension between the South Asian neighbours. With their demands to play their matches in Sri Lanka shot down by the game’s global governing body, Bangladesh find themselves left with the dif ficult options of either withdrawing their demand or getting replaced by another team in the global showpiece that begins on Feb 7. Aware of a potential backlash that would follow any volte-face about playing in India, BCB presi dent Aminul Islam said the players were keen to play in the World Cup. “I am hoping for a miracle from the ICC. Who doesn’t want to play in the World Cup?” he said. “Bangladesh players want to play the World Cup. The Bangladesh government wants Bangladesh to play the World Cup. But we don’t think India is safe for our players.” McIlroy sees little chance of PGA Tour and LIV Golf deal RORY MCILROY said on Wednesday he felt the PGA Tour and LIV Golf had grown “too far apart” to strike a deal that would reunite men’s professional golf. McIlroy, who has been the PGA Tour’s most out spoken member against LIV Golf, would like to see the world’s best players compete against each other more than just at the year’s four majors but was not hopeful. “I just don’t see a world where it can happen at this point,“ McIlroy told reporters at Emirates Golf Club ahead of this week’s Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the European Tour. McIlroy’s comments came just over a week after the PGA Tour reinstated Brooks Koepka as part of a new programme that offers a limited window for select players to return. The divide has even captured the attention of U.S. President Donald Trump, an avid golfer who was part of two meetings on the matter at the White House last February when there was opti mism the schism between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour would be resolved. McIlroy, who completed a career Grand Slam with his triumph at last year’s Masters, felt relation ships between the two circuits were better than when LIV Golf launched in June 2022 but that did not mean either side would make the necessary concessions. “Just I don’t see a world where the two or three sides or whoever it is will give up enough,“ said McIlroy. “Like for reunification to happen, every side is going to feel like they will have lost, where you really want every side to feel like they have won ... I think they are just too far apart for that to happen.”

Stan-ding tall Exhausted Wawrinka outlasts Gea to extend Australian Open stay S TAN WAWRINKA lived to fight another day in his final Australian Open on Thursday, the three times Grand Slam winner battling

broke the Swiss right-hander’s serve to take a 5-3 lead as Wawrinka sent a backhand from the baseline wide of the tramline. The Frenchman then held serve to move clear. The pair traded breaks of serve in the fourth set, which Wawrinka won to force a decider. The Swiss surged to a 2-0 lead in the fifth set, tapping his temple to underline his mental resolve as the Kia Arena crowd roared. Wawrinka played like a younger version of himself even as his opponent, 19 years his junior, winning the tiebreak to make the third round for the first time since his 2020 quarterfinal run. In the men’s draw, Novak Djokovic strolled into the Australian Open third round yesterday after sending 141st ranked qualifier Francesco Maestrelli packing in straight sets at Rod Laver Arena. The Serbian great is on his latest mission to win a record 25th Grand Slam title and dismissed the Italian 6-3, 6-2, 6 2. Djokovic faces 75th-ranked Botic van de Zandschulp of the Netherlands next. Lorenzo Musetti, the fifth seed, beat fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego 6-3, 6-3, 6 4. American eighth seed Ben Shelton was a comfortable 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 victor over Australia’s Dane Sweeny. Other winners in the men’s draw included 15th seed Karen Khachanov of Russia and 16th seed Jakub Mensik of the Czech Republic. The 20-year-old Mensik eased past Rafael Jodar of Spain 6-2, 6-4, 6-4. – Reuters

to a marathon 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, 7-6(10-3) win over Frenchman Arthur Gea to reach the third round at Melbourne Park. The 40-year-old Wawrinka, who won his first Grand Slam in Melbourne in 2014 before going on to capture the French Open in 2015 and the US Open a year later, had announced before the tournament that he would retire at the end of the 2026 season. Having received a late wild card to play in the tournament, Wawrinka made the most of his chance, becoming the first player aged 40 or over to make the third round of a major since Ken Rosewall at the Australian Open in 1978. “I’m exhausted,” Wawrinka said after a slugfest that lasted four hours and 33 minutes. “It’s my last Australian Open, so I’m trying to last as long as possible. “Not only did I have fun, but also you (the fans) gave me so much energy. I’m not young anymore, so I need your energy, extra energy from you. “It’s an amazing feeling to be on this court, to have so much noise, so much support. It was a long match. I don’t know how I’m going to recover, but I’m super happy.” With the crowd behind him, Wawrinka held his own against an opponent 19 years his junior throughout the opening exchanges and came back from a set down to draw level in the contest after the second set. Gea edged the third set when he
