Australian Open QF Recap. Semifinals Preview. And Are the BTS Cameras Too Much?

The Australian Open quarterfinals are done. The seeds mostly held, the men’s side stayed tidy, and the women gave us the sharper tension. We break down Alcaraz vs De Minaur, Zverev vs Learner Tien, Sinner’s control against Shelton, and Djokovic’s strange path into the semis after Musetti’s injury. On the WTA side, we talk Jovic’s lesson-filled loss to Sabalenka, Svitolina’s shocker over Gauff, Rybakina finding her edge, and Pegula’s ultra-clean run. Plus: doubles unpredictability, quick notes from the Philippines Open and San Diego, and a bigger question. Do fans actually want the behind-the-scenes hallway cameras?
