Australian Open: Kichenok won't shake hands, Sinner wins 'point of the tournament'

The ninth day of the Australian Open was full of excitement, with intense rivalry between doubles opponents, Sinner's powerful serve even breaking the net, and the title of best rally may have already been decided. In addition, there were other highlights worth noting.

First, a heated doubles match ended with a handshake controversy. After losing to Mladenovic and Zhang Shuai, Kichenok refused to shake hands with Mladenovic and left the court directly. Mladenovic accused her opponent of unfriendly behavior during the match, which may have been the reason for Kichenok's refusal to shake hands.

Secondly, Sinner and Rune staged a thrilling showdown that could be called the "best rally of the tournament." This rally was full of skill, power, and endurance, with the two players showcasing their superb tennis skills over 37 shots, ultimately won by Sinner with a brilliant cross-court smash. During the match, Sinner's powerful serve even broke the net, causing the match to be temporarily interrupted.

Furthermore, Uruguayan tennis player Ariel Behar once again attracted attention with his unique fashion sense. He wore clothing with kangaroo and crab patterns, continuing his consistent style. Finally, the Australian Open is about to enter the quarter-final stage, and the match schedule has been announced, with many exciting matchups to look forward to.

In the quarterfinals, Gauff will face Badosa, Paul will face Zverev, Sabalenka will face Pavlyuchenkova, and Djokovic will have a highly anticipated match against Alcaraz. In addition, several Australian players will participate in mixed doubles and wheelchair tennis competitions, which are also worth paying attention to.
