ADELAIDE, January 11

Australian Open runner-up Elena Rybakina was handed a humbling defeat ahead of the year’s first Grand Slam as the world No. 3 was beaten 6-3 6-3 by the unseeded Ekaterina Alexandrova in the Adelaide International quarterfinals.

Up next for Alexandrova is former world No. 5 Jelena Ostapenko, who continued to gain momentum for another tilt at a Grand Slam title with a 7-5 6-3 win over Marta Kostyuk. Second seed Jessica Pegula overcame Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-7(1) 7-5 6-4 to set up a clash with Daria Kasatkina.

In the men’s draw, Jack Draper stunned top seed Tommy Paul 6-1 6-4 to book a semi-final against Alexander Bublik, who saved a match point to outlast Lorenzo Musetti 6-3 6-7(4) 7-5. — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
