Gael Monfils, now 38, serves at 1-1 3-4 against Ben Shelton, but he's hurt a leg and isn't moving freely. He's doing a decent job of hanging in there and holds for 4-4, but I'm not sure he can win from this position.
Kasatkina flaps long, and the American takes a topsy-turvy, 41-minute first set 6-4.
G'day one and all and welcome to the Australian Open 2025 day nine, evening sesh! It begins with Eva Lys v Iga Swiatek, continues with Alex Michelsen v Alex de Minaur, and also takes in Gael Monfils v Ben Shelton and Daria Kasatkina v Emma Navarro.
