Are we getting ahead of ourselves?

The GIST: The only thing hotter than the temps Down Under is the on-court action — the Australian Open semis are officially set, complete with lots of chalk and a handful of surprises.

🎉 World No. 6 Jessica Pegula through to first career Aussie Open semi: The American took down her fellow countrywoman last night, topping No. 4 Amanda Anisimova to advance to the final four. Her prize? A semis showdown vs. No. 5 Elena Rybakina, who knocked out No. 2 Iga Świątek in straight sets.

• Joining them in the semis is No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who will play No. 12 Elina Svitolina after the latter’s quick QF win over No. 3 Coco Gauff yesterday.

• Now eliminated, Gauff is sparking conversations about player privacy after she smashed her racket following that match when she thought she was out of view of the cameras.

💪 No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz just keeps winning: The Spaniard made light work of No. 6 Alex de Minaur in yesterday’s QF, defeating the Australian in straight sets to the dismay of the home crowd. Looking as dominant as ever, Alcaraz now needs just two more match dubs to win the Aussie Open and become the youngest man to secure a career Grand Slam. Could history be in the making?

• The 22-year-old will face No. 3 Alexander Zverev in tomorrow’s semi. On the other side of the bracket, it’s No. 4 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 2 Jannik Sinner, who emerged victorious over No. 8 Ben Shelton overnight.

• If you think you’ve seen this film before, you’re right — Sinner topped Djokovic in both the Wimbledon and French Open semis last year. Old foes make for great matches.

The GIST: The fairways are trimmed, and the greens are rolled — golf’s best are ready for the Hilton Grand Vacations (HGV) Tournament of Champions, the LPGA’s first event of the season. Let’s spill the tee before the Tour’s 76th edition begins tomorrow.

📌 The main events: The LPGA has five majors — April’s Chevron Championship, June’s U.S. Women’s Open and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship (with matching $12M purses), and July’s Amundi Evian Championship and AIG Women’s Open, aka the Women’s British Open. The majors highlight a 33-tournament schedule that’ll dole out $132M in prize money this year. *golf clap*

👏 Parity on the green: Last season brought unprecedented parity with a record-setting 29 different winners over the Tour’s 35 events. World No. 1 and reigning Rolex Player of the Year Jeeno Thitikul was one of just two players (alongside No. 4 Miyū Yamashita) to secure multiple tourney wins — but the 22-year-old is still majorless…for now.

👀 Players to watch: No. 2 Nelly Korda is dressing for revenge (and taking names). After posting an impressive seven victories in 2024, Korda didn’t win a single title last season despite playing great golf — the 27-year-old had the Tour’s second-best scoring average.

• Other gals to keep an eye on? No. 3 Minjee Lee and No. 6 Lydia Ko, who are both just one major away from completing the career grand slam, and No. 11 Lottie Woad after the 22-year-old’s stellar rookie 2025 season. Fore!
