The heat will give respite in the 2026 Australian Open during the round of 16 matches scheduled for Sunday, January 25, and Monday, January 26. However, on Tuesday, January 27, the day the quarterfinals will be played in the top half of the men's and women's draw, the mercury will rise again to unexpected limits. A high of 43ºC will wreak havoc on the tennis players and could require the extreme heat policy to be reenacted. On that day, Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka would play their quarterfinal matches, if they qualify.
