It was another day of mostly one-way traffic on the show courts at the Australian Open.

The news was not great for the Americans as Coco Gauff, Iva Jovic, and Learner Tien all crash out on Day 10.

Meanwhile, Danielle Collins shares her thoughts on the current climate of the United States.

And, a big day of tennis awaits on Wednesday (or Tuesday night for us Yanks), with Iga Swiatek vs. Elena Rybakina and Jannik Sinner vs. Ben Shelton taking center stage.

Let's get you caught up on all the results, ramblings, and rigamaroll from Melbourne and beyond!

🔥 Svitolina Storms Through Elina Svitolina steamrolls Coco Gauff in just 59 minutes, winning 6-1, 6-2. The victory returns the Ukrainian to the Top 10 for the first time since October 2021 and sends her into her first Australian Open semifinal.

🌟 Top Tien Performance Learner Tien announces himself as a star despite his loss to Alexander Zverev on Day 10. The 20yo American became the youngest men's AO quarterfinalist since Nick Kyrgios in 2015, and the youngest American to reach a maiden slam QF since Andy Roddick at the 2001 US Open.

🎯 Can Anybody Stop Sabalenka? Aryna Sabalenka produces another big win, taking out Iva Jovic 6-3, 6-0 to reach her fourth straight AO semifinal. The world #1 was never broken, hit 31 winners (21 in the first set alone), and won 83% of first-serve points. Her 143 total winners lead all women at this AO.

🔥 Carlos on Cruise Control Carlos Alcaraz dismantles the last Aussie left in singles, Alex de Minaur, 7-5, 6-2, 6-1, to reach his first AO semifinal. The world #1 now sits two wins from becoming the youngest man to complete the Career Grand Slam.

🗣️ Collins Speaks Out Asked for her opinion on the current state of the United States, former top 10 Danielle Collins calls for empathy and an end to injustice. (Via Instagram. See "The Quotes" for full transcript.)

👀 ESPN is Always Watching Coco Gauff raises questions about player privacy after being caught on camera smashing a racket following her loss to Elina Svitolina. Gauff: "I tried to go somewhere where they wouldn't broadcast it, but obviously they did."

🎾 Eala on the OOP The Philippines is gonna get loud on Wednesday as Alex Eala hits the court again in Manila. The #2 seed faces recent Australian Open qualifier Himeno Sakatsume.

"I know myself, and I don't want to lash out on my team. They're good people. They don't deserve that, and I know I'm emotional. I just took the minute to go and do that. I don't try to do it on court in front of kids and things like that, but I do know I need to let out that emotion." - Coco Gauff on managing frustration ¹

"The same thing happened to Aryna after I played her in final of the US Open. I feel like they don't need to broadcast." - Coco Gauff on privacy ²

"Not bad, not bad at all. Always been my dream to come back in Top 10 after maternity leave, that's always been my goal." - Elina Svitolina on returning to the Top 10 ³

"I don't think I've played someone with this level from the baseline since a very long time. I don't know what Michael Chang has done with him in the off-season, but the way he's playing is incredible. Without my 20 aces or something like that, I probably would not have won today." - Alexander Zverev on Learner Tien's off season progression ⁴

"I don't think about it too much. I don't feel like a weight on my shoulder by any means." - Learner Tien on rising expectations ⁵

"It is always the main goal for me to complete a career grand slam, calendar grand slam... So it's going to be great." - Carlos Alcaraz on chasing history ⁶

"The second set, I felt like I had to step in and put even more pressure on her. Because I can see that she's young, she's hungry, and I could tell during the match that no matter the score, she's still going to be there trying." - Aryna Sabalenka on closing out Iva Jovic ⁷

"For me, like I've said in earlier rounds, I have a lot more that I want to do here, and I have a lot more to prove … I'll be ready to go." - Ben Shelton on facing Jannik Sinner ⁸

"It's been hard to find the right words or words at all. The lack of empathy so many people have towards those who may have been dealt a different set of cards in life has been really sad to see. I don't understand why bad things continue to happen to good people, or why children have to get taken from their parents or watch their parents disappear. The lack of compassion and empathy for humanity that we keep seeing in these horrific videos is beyond devastating. My heart goes out to every single person facing injustice. I really hope and pray God will give back abundantly and ten fold to those who have lost loved ones or are living through displacement, and are able to find self sovereignty after dealing with such traumatic events. I also hope and pray that some of the people causing this type of pain and suffering can do some hard work inside the dark places of their heart. 🖤🙏" - Danielle Collins on the current state of America (via Instagram).
