World No 1 and top seed Iga Swiatek is out of the Australian Open after falling to a 3-6 6-3 6-4 defeat to Czech teenager Linda Noskova in the third round. The four-time grand slam champion looked to be in a comfortable position as she led by a set and pushed for the break, but the 19-year-old Noskova battled back to force the third and edged a tense decider to claim the biggest win of her career and the biggest shock of the tournament so far.

Earlier, British No 1 Cameron Norrie advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open for the first time after sealing an impressive four-set win against the 11th seed Casper Ruud. Norrie, the 19th seed, had not beaten Ruud in their three previous meetings but executed an attacking gameplan to perfection in clinching a 6-4 6-7 6-4 6-3 victory in just over three hours. Norrie’s win against Ruud, the three-time grand slam finalist, was also his best victory at a major by opponent ranking.

Elsewhere in the men’s singles, Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz spent just 66 minutes out on court as wildcard Juncheng Shang retired while 6-1 6-1 1-0 down against the second seed. Daniil Medvedev enjoyed a straight-sets victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime.
