Day 6 of the Australian Open saw a number of big names in men's and women's singles easily advance to the next round. But one major loss was No. 7-ranked Jessica Pegula, who was defeated in two sets by Serbian Olga Danilović. Pegula and Danilović battled in the first set, with the Serbian winning in a tiebreaker, 7-3. But in the second set, the American completely faltered, letting Danilović take a 6-1 win and secure the match with relative ease.

After losing the first set 7-6 (3), two-time Australian Open champ Naomi Osaka retired from her third-round match against Belinda Bencic due to injury.

Naomi Osaka's 2019s journey at the Australian Open 2025 came to an emotional halt as the two-time champion retired due to an abdominal injury during her third-round match against Belinda Bencic. Returning to the Grand Slam stage after giving birth to her daughter in 2023, Osaka showcased moments of brilliance, defeating Caroline Garcia and Karolina Muchova earlier in the tournament. However, despite a promising 4-1 lead in the first set against Bencic, the injury became too much to overcome. Bencic, herself making a post-maternity comeback, expressed sympathy for Osaka, acknowledging the struggle and heartbreak. With this setback, Osaka 2019s fans hope for her swift recovery and a return to form as she continues balancing motherhood and elite tennis. Meanwhile, Bencic advances to face third seed Coco Gauff in what promises to be another thrilling clash. This development underscores the unpredictability and resilience seen throughout the Australian Open, keeping fans on edge. Like, share, and follow for the latest updates from Melbourne Park!
