FOX Weather takes a look at the chances of Punxsutawney Phil seeing his shadow when he emerges from his burrow in Pennsylvania on Groundhog Day on Sunday.
PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. – Sunday marks the day the U.S. turns to a groundhog to learn if winter will tighten its grip on the country or if spring will arrive soon. That’s right, it’s Groundhog Day.
If the weather-predicting rodent named Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow when he emerges from his hidey-hole in Pennsylvania, it allegedly means six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, he has predicted an early spring.
At sunrise Sunday, the famous groundhog, also known as a woodchuck, will emerge in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and attempt to answer the question: How much longer will winter last?
About 79% of the time, Phil sees his shadow, indicating more winter.

However, Phil’s winter prognostications have only been right about 39% of the time, according to the Stormfax Almanac.
If you’d prefer your winter forecast to come from a more northern woodchuck, you can look to Charles G. Hogg also known as “Staten Island Chuck.” Over the past decade, Chuck has only seen his shadow once.
Tune in to FOX Weather on Sunday morning for Groundhog Day coverage, with FOX News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean reporting live from Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney.
Will Phil see his shadow?
The forecast calls for plenty of clouds when Phil emerges, but weather rarely plays a role in whether the groundhog sees his shadow. It’s up to the rodent to use his “groundhogeese” to whisper his predictions to an interpreter, who then relays the message to the throngs of people waiting to hear.

As Groundhog Day approaches, many people eagerly await Punxsutawney Phil’s prediction for the remainder of winter. Will the famous groundhog see his shadow on Sunday, February 2nd? Stay tuned for updates and don’t forget to tune in to see if we will have six more weeks of winter or an early spring! #GroundhogDay #PunxsutawneyPhil #ShadowOrNoShadow

144th over – Australia’s innings continues after tea
Looks like there’s no declaration just yet from Steve Smith.
Jeffrey Vandersay to start things off. Alex Carey on strike.
Will Australia enforce the follow-on?
If Australia is planning on enforcing the follow on with this massive total, I’m down for that.
– Doc
Hi Doc,
That certainly appears to be the plan at this stage.
Of course, whether Australia is able to enforce the follow-on is entirely contingent on Sri Lanka’s first-innings batting performance.
Live from the Antarctic
Following languidly from the Antarctic Ocean. Any reason not to be bored by this one?
– Cold Mick
Hi Mick,
Hope you’re keeping warm down there.
I reckon jumping into the Antarctic Ocean would definitely be more of a thrill than watching this.
The last time Australia scored over 600
When was the last time we (Australia) scored 600 in a test innings? Feels like it was at least 5 years ago.
– Chloe
Hi Chloe,
This innings is Australia’s first 600+ score since January 4, 2018, when they scored 7-649 declared against England at the SCG.
Australia’s highest ever Test score is 8-758 declared, which was scored against the West Indies in 1955.
TEA: Australia 5-600 (Carey 25, Webster 10)
(Getty)
Well, look, I mean, Sri Lanka got Usman Khawaja and Josh Inglis out. So, probably the best session for the hosts since the first on day one.
Australia is just grinding the fielders and bowlers down. This has all the hallmarks of a ‘bat once’ victory, but the prospect of bowling back-to-back in this heat isn’t ideal.
Still, it might be the only chance we have of seeing a result in the game. And it might be a little easier with mostly spinners in the line-up.
But, before we get to that, we have to see the approach from the batters after tea. I’m expecting, and hoping for, an aggressive approach from Carey and Webster after a watchful start.
143rd over – Australia brings up 600
Australia is 5-599 as Prabath Jayasuriya starts his 60th over.
And there’s 600 for the Aussies as Alex Carey gets another single with another reverse sweep.
It’s the first time since 2018 that Australia has reached this mark.
Galle’s good looking, hey?
(Getty)
142nd over – Jeffrey Vandersay returns for his 33rd over
And he sprays one down leg. Oshada Fernando sprints to the rope from short leg and the ball dies just before reaching the boundary.
Fernando actually stepped on the boundary before picking it up, but got his foot back in the field of play before touching the ball.
Too much width and Beau Webster slashes away for a couple more wide of cover.
141st over – Jayasuriya continues because Sri Lanka refuses to use a fifth bowler
Alex Carey reverse sweeps and gets back for a sharp two.
Webster tries a lap sweep and it’s very awkward. Almost LBW.
Sri Lanka doesn’t even have the energy for a pointless appeal anymore.
140th over – No urgency from the Aussies
Another nudge to long-off for a single from Carey. And Webster skips down and clips Nishan to mid-wicket for one more.
This doesn’t feel like declaration batting. But there are 13 minutes to tea. We might see more aggression after the break.
139th over – Prabath Jayasuriya gets some fielders around the bat
Beau Webster is just looking to nudge the ball.
A little extra bounce almost does for Webster, but he’s playing with soft hands and the ball just trickles away.
138th over – The wait goes on for Nishan Peiris’s first wicket in the innings
The big long levers get Beau Webster a single to the man in the deep with a sweep shot.
Webster gets some width and pushes into the deep for two more.
Nothing overly probing from Nishan in his 38th offering.
137th over – Jayasuriya comes in for his 57th over
Carey tries to force the issue with a little shuffle down the wicket, but he can only get a thick edge away behind point.
Carey gets off strike with a single off a reverse sweep.
It’s another tight, if uninspiring over.
136th over – Nishan Peiris bowling to Beau Webster
The big Slug pushes at a wide one and misses everything. A lot of drift away for Nishan, still hunting his first wicket of this innings.
Webster eventually manages to lay bat on it to take a single to point.
This game will, I assume, accelerate after tea. But things are meandering a little now.
135th over – Jayasuriya hunting a five-fa
Alex Carey is getting them all with sweeps and reverse sweeps.
Webster clatters a drive into Oshada Fernando. It’s whacked him in the arms.
After a lengthy delay, Jayasuriya wraps up with another ball outside off.
134th over – Nishan Peiris bowling with Beau Webster out in the middle
Nishan thinks he has found Carey’s outside edge, but no-one behind the stumps is there with him.
Carey punches down the ground for one more. Still a very spread field despite having two new batters at the crease. In saying that, the score is up over 570.
Josh Inglis is gone for 102
(Getty)
The debutant closed the face of the bat on one, and the next ball he shuffles, closes the face again as he tries to work to the leg side and chips a catch straight to Kamindu Mendia at short cover.
Another fine innings ends apparently with just a little dip in concentration.
Credit to Prabath Jayasuriya for continuing to toil at the end of his 55th over.
133rd over – Australia’s newest century-maker faces Prabath Jayasuriya
This pair is happily knocking singles around.
Carey’s almost top-edged a reverse sleep to leg slip.
There doesn’t seem to be any direction to put the pedal down. Maybe there will be after tea.
A century on debut for Josh Inglis!
(Getty)
The 29-year-old carves through the covers for a few more and leaps in the air to celebrate this momentous feat.
There’s tears in the stands for mum and dad as Inglis becomes the first Australian man since Adam Voges in 2015 to score a century on Test debut, and just the third in history to do it in Asia.
Not only that, but Inglis has has done it at better than a run a ball, reaching three figures off just 91 deliveries.
In a thrilling match-up between Sri Lanka and Australia, day two of the first Test saw some incredible performances from the Australian team. Opening batsman Usman Khawaja set the tone with a brilliant double century, showcasing his class and experience at the highest level.
But the real star of the day was debutant Josh Inglis, who announced his arrival on the international stage with a stunning century. Inglis showed great composure and skill as he guided the Australian innings with his aggressive stroke-play and impeccable timing.
The partnership between Khawaja and Inglis turned the tide in Australia’s favor, as they piled on the runs and put Sri Lanka under immense pressure. The Sri Lankan bowlers tried their best to contain the Australian batsmen, but Khawaja and Inglis were simply unstoppable.
As the day ended, Australia had posted a mammoth total on the board, thanks to the heroics of Khawaja and Inglis. The Sri Lankan team now faces an uphill task to come back into the game, but with the form that the Australian batsmen are in, it will be a tough challenge.
Stay tuned for more updates as the match progresses, as Sri Lanka looks to fight back against the mighty Australian team. #SriLankavsAustralia #Cricket #TestMatch #JoshInglis #UsmanKhawaja #DebutCentury
131st over: Australia 560-4 (Inglis 96, Carey 4) Inglis rocks back and punchesJayasuriya through the covers for four to go within one shot of a century on Test debut. His mum and dad are at the ground in Galle and watching on nervously. Can their boy get there?
130th over: Australia 554-3 (Inglis 88, Carey 1) Five singles collected off the over with ease. Inglis closing in on a maiden Test century. He comes from Leeds originally so us poms can take some of the credit, right?
129th over: Australia 549-3 (Inglis 88, Carey 1) Alex Carey is the new man, fresh after being snubbed by Wisden Cricket Monthly. Arf. He gets off the mark with a single and Inglis heads towards the 90s with the same.
WICKET! Khawaja c Mendis b Jayasuriya 232 (Australia 547-4)
Flames to dust, lovers to friends, why must all good things come to an end? Not my words, the words of Nelly Furtado. Jayasuriya angles one across Khawaja and he has a nibble at it, the thin edge is snaffled by Mendis behind the stumps and after 352 balls and over a day and a half at the crease Usman Khawaja is on his way. Fabulous knock, he’s still got some in the baggy green tank.
James Wallace
Thanks Angus, top stint that. I don’t know what you were messing about at though, this pitch is obviously a snake pit… no sooner have I shifted my flanks into the OBO armchair there is a wicket! It’s the big one too – Usman Khawaja is out! Repeat out!
As drinks come onto the field – water for the Aussies, something stronger for the Sri Lankans – Henning Brammer emails to say, nay plead: “They’ll surely give Inglis the chance for a century, won’t they?” It appears so, Henning. And it could be just a few brutal swings of the bat away. He’s on 87 from 79 balls with nine fours and a six and looking good to smash a century on debut and write his name into history.
Time for some fresh blood on the blog. Thanks for your company today and cath you on the morrow. From the London end, it’s James Wallace!
128th over: Australia 547-3 (Khawaja 232, Inglis 87) Inglis goes big and that is SIX! Vandersay skidded it in flat and fast but the debutant was fast to the pitch of the ball and got enough willow to muscle it over the rope. Vandersay, frustrated, throws in a half-tracker to close and Inglis spiflicates it for another FOUR. He’s flying!
127th over: Australia 534-3 (Khawaja 230, Inglis 76) Jayasuriya gets taken for four singles and a deuce. He’s nagging away at a length but the angles he extracted yesterday haven’t been spotted on day two and neither batter looks troubled.
126th over: Australia 528-3 (Khawaja 226, Inglis 74) As Inglis smokes Vandersay for a FOUR to rocket into the seventies, let’s tempt fate by mentioning that Inglis is striving to be the first Australian to score a century on debut since Adam Voges in 2015.
If he makes it, the 29-year-old would be the 21st Australian to achieve the feat. Five of the past six to achieve the feat were at Windsor Park to see Voges do it a decade ago, with Shaun Marsh and Michael Clarke as Voges’ teammates, Greg Blewett as Australia’s fielding coach, and Mark Waugh as national selector.
The first to the milestone was also the hioghest score by a debutant: Charles Bannerman’s 165 retired hurt) in the very first Test ever played in 1877 against England. Bannerman opened the batting and scored 165 of Australia’s first innings245 at the MCG to spearhead a 45 run victory. He retired hurt with Australia at 7 for 240 after copping a nasty blow to his index finger. The next best score was 18.
125th over: Australia 528-3 (Khawaja 226, Inglis 70) Inglis and Khawaja stroll a couple of singles, as if bored with the tepid nature of this Sri Lanka attack. There’s more vim, vigour and venom in this Alana King over than Sri Lanka have shown all Test match.
124th over: Australia 518-3 (Khawaja 224, Inglis 67) Vandersay is back in the attack. He’s been the pick of Sri Lanka’s bowlers and has the scalps of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith to his name. Just two Khawaja runs into the covers from this over.
When do Australia declare ya reckon?
123d over: Australia 513-3 (Khawaja 222, Inglis 67) Usman moves onto Richie Benaud’s favourite number with a couple of slow singles. Khawaja has been out there for 123 overs and 330 deliveries now and may start to cramp up soon. Put the pickle juice on ice, Twelfthie!
122nd over: Australia 513-3 (Khawaja 220, Inglis 66) Inglis gets onto one leg to whack Nisha Peiris into the deep for a couple. He is the third consecutive debutant to score a fifty in his debut innings after Sam Konstas in Melbourne and Beau Webster in Sydney. Who said there’s no succession plan in Australian cricket?
In the Women’s Ashes Test being played at the MCG, England have collapsed to 136-7. What about this classic catch from Phoebe Litchfield?
121st over: Australia 508-3 (Khawaja 218, Inglis 63) Fernando returns for an 11th over. He’s going at almost six per over and hasn’t done much to trouble the batters or stem the flow of runs. Khawaja cuts a run. Inglis, still scoring at better than a run-a-ball, gets the fielders to scatter. Short ball trap coming here. Sure enough the bouncers fly way over the top. Wasteful bowling. Can you hear the drums Fernando?
120th over: Australia 507-3 (Khawaja 217, Inglis 63) A Khawaja push brings up the century partnership between these two. But there’s a huge appeal next ball when an Inglis reverse sweep misses the ball and crashes into the back pad down low. Umpire says OUT. Inglis confidently reviews… and rightly so. UltraEdge shows a delicious flurry of static to prove he got a splinter on it. Inglis gets the reverse sweep right next ball to bank a single. Khawaja, a natural leftie, then sweeps it to the same fielder. Inglis ices the over with a bludgeoning cut shot to the boundary.
119th over: Australia 500-3 (Khawaja 215, Inglis 58) Asitha returns for a 10th over desperate to break a partnership up to 91 already. Make that 95 after Inglis hooks a bouncer to the fine leg boundary. That could be the first bouncer of the Test and, sorry Asitha, it wasn’t worth the wait for anyone but Josh Inglis. Khawaja leans on a straight ball to earn a single and bring up the 500 for Australia.

118th over: Australia 492-3 (Khawaja 212, Inglis 53) A chance? Maybe not. Khawaja edged hard and it flew past the left hand of first slip who seemed slow to move. Ah well, at least he wasn’t nutmegged. Khawaja takes two from it, then a soothing single. Inglis continues to motor, returning the strike with a push through midwicket.
117th over: Australia 487-3 (Khawaja 209, Inglis 51) Inglis has a dash at Fernando’s first ball and cuts it to backward point for two. A crashed pull shot gets him the single he needs for a maiden Test half century. Well played Mr Inglis! That 50 came from 51 balls and featured five fours.
Josh Inglis celebrates reaching fifty in his debut Test for Australia. Photograph: Eranga Jayawardena/AP
116th over: Australia 482-3 (Khawaja 208 Inglis 47) Nishan Peisa gets a 31st over. If you’re wondering why Sri Lanka haven’t turned to a part-timer it’s because their go-to cameo man, Angelo Mathews, has a hamstring injury that prevents him from bowling. That’s s a shame because Sri Lanka desperately need some X factor in their attack and Angelo – who has 33 wickets in is 116 Tests – might’ve provided it. Three singles from the over.
115th over: Australia 479-3 (Khawaja 207, Inglis 45) Asitha Fernando must have made the case for pace over lunch because he’s got the first over after the break. This is just his eighth over for the Test after Travis Head hammered him into a specialist fielding role in the first hour of play yesterday. This over goes better for Asitha, just two singles and a driven two from it.
What’s a nutmeg? asks Tom Lewis via email. Even though the Sri Lankan wicketkeeper has mastered the art of nutmegging in this Test, to nutmeg is a football expression for when a ball travels between the legs (nutmeg is English rhyming slang for leg).
The Khawaja-Smith partnership was worth 266. It broke the record for the biggest third-wicket partnership for Australia in men’s Tests in Asia, which was held by Allan Border and Kim Hughes who put on 222 in 1979. The Smith and Khawaja 266 sits fifth on the list of all-time third-wicket partnerships for Australia in men’s Tests.

Over at the Women’s Ashes Test at the MCG, England are 99-4 after Australia’s Alana King took a sharp caught and bowled to dismiss Sophia Dunkley for 21.
LUNCH: Australia 475-3 (Khawaja 204*, Inglis 44*)
That session belonged to one man: Usman Khawaja.
He has batted for 10 hours and 298 balls and now has a maiden Test double century to his name, a highest career score and the honour of being the first Australian man to hit a double-ton in Sri Lanka. After 34 innings without a century, the 38-year-old has cashed in here in Galle and may have locked himself in for another Ashes series later this year.
With Steve Smith (141) and frenetic debutant Josh Inglis (44 not out), Australia have rolled to 475 with ease. Will they bat to 600, slamming quick runs in the second session (and giving Khawaja a sniff at 300) before chasing fast wickets in the final session? Or does Smith, looking at a weather forecast predicting showers for the next three days, think 500 runs is enough?
Join us after the break to find out.
114th over: Australia 475-3 (Khawaja 204, Inglis 44) Usman Khawaja strokes another run from Peiris as he enjoys life in the exclusive club of Australians to score a Test double century in the subcontinent. He joins Mark Taylor, Greg Chappell, Dean Jones, Matt Hayden and Jason Gillespie in that club. Incredibly though, Khawaja is the only Australian man to hit a double century in Sri Lanka. Take a bow, Ussie.
113th over: Australia 471-3 (Khawaja 203, Inglis 41) Australia have scored 140 runs from the 31 overs in this session and done it for the loss of one wicket (Steve Smith for 141). Inglis, who has 40 runs from 40 balls, tamps five before clipping a single off the hip.
112th over: Australia 470-3 (Khawaja 203, Inglis 40) Another nutmeg from the ‘keeper as Inglis’s attempted reverse sweep of Peiris catches the bottom edge, almost hits the stumps then bounces between the ankles of the gloveman and runs away for three.
111th over: Australia 465-3 (Khawaja 201, Inglis 37) Four singles from the Jayasuriya over but the most important was the first, a misfield, which allowed Usman Khawaja to scamper a single and bring up his maiden Test double century.

Usman Khawaja scores his first Test double century! (Australia 462-3)
He’s got it! The 200th run came from a prod and a misfield but that doesn’t taint the beautiful 199 runs prior. 290 balls. 113 singles. 16 fours. And a six. Well done Usman! He raises his bat to the dressing room and sinks to his knees to kiss the turf. He was deropped from the Australian XI after being dismissed twice in the same day at this ground. But Khawaja’s comeback story is one for the ages and he now has his first double ton in Tests.
110th over: Australia 461-3 (Khawaja 199, Inglis 35) Nishan Peiris gets a whirl before lunch. He is wicketless for 117 runs from his 27 overs so far and has barely fired a shot. Khawaja is one shot from his first Test double century and Sri Lanka are slowing things down, moving fielders hither and thither. They’ve set a trap for the reverse sweep but Khawaja drops and runs for a single. Inglis swats square and gets two, then skips out and drives a single to mid-on. Khawaja clips another run to make 199.
109th over: Australia 455-3 (Khawaja 197, Inglis 31) Khawaja’s spanked single through covers gives him a PB – his highest Test score, surpassing his 195 against South Africa. Inglis is going at a rate of knots at the other end, swiping Jayasuriya square for another FOUR.
108th over: Australia 445-3 (Khawaja 192, Inglis 26) Vandersay enters his 28th over. He has 2-130 and has doubled his career tally of wickets already in this innings. Inglis skips out and chips a half-tracker down the ground for another FOUR.
107th over: Australia 438-3 (Khawaja 190, Inglis 21) Inglis dances down and clouts Jayasuriya for FOUR. Great shot by the debutant! And another streaky one by Khawaja as another bottom edged sweep shot misses the middle, skims the stumps and eludes wicketkeeper. Instead it runs away fine for another boundary, this time as leg byes. Khawaja reverse sweeps a single to close out the over.
Weird situation in Australian cricket today with Alyssa Healy and Josh Inglis – both specialist wicketkeepers – taking the field as specialist batters. What does it mean?
106th over: Australia 428-3 (Khawaja 189, Inglis 16) Was that a chance? Khawaja reverse swept Vandersay and bottom edged… but no, it’s another nutmeg as the ball hits glove and bounces through wicketkeeper Mendes’s legs for another four, Khawaja’s 14th.
105th over: Australia 422-3 (Khawaja 184, Inglis 15) Inglis late cuts for FOUR! That was so late it nutmegged the second slipper. Nice shot though. The rookie is rattling along at ODI pace and that shot takes him to 14 from 17. Sri Lanka are crowding him and have a back pad fielder breathing down his neck. Unperturbed, Ibnglis reverse sweeps a single. Khawaja drops and runs to retain strike.
104th over: Australia 416-3 (Khawaja 183, Inglis 10) Inglis races to double-figures with a swept full toss and a dancing drive to mid on. Khawaja gets the reverse sweep out again but Vandersay shoots it through a tad quicker and Usman can’t connect.
103rd over: Australia 414-3 (Khawaja 182, Inglis 8) Inglis almost chops on! That was good bowling by Jayasuriya. he rushed it onto the rookie and caught the bottom edge and almost hit off stumps. Inglis withdraws into his shell for the next two then steps back to late cut the fourth past slip. He gets two and adds a third with a paddle sweep to the last.
Welcome to our live coverage of the first men’s cricket Test match between Sri Lanka and Australia!
On day two of the Test match, the Australia cricket team will be looking to build on their strong performance from day one. After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, the Australian team put up a commendable total on the board, with some impressive performances from their top order batsmen.
The Sri Lankan team, on the other hand, will be looking to make a comeback and put up a strong performance with the ball on day two. Their bowlers will have to come up with a plan to dismiss the Australian batsmen quickly and restrict the runs to keep themselves in the game.
Stay tuned as we bring you live updates and analysis of the match as it unfolds. Will the Australian team continue their dominance on day two, or will Sri Lanka fight back and turn the tables? Follow along to find out!
After crushing Taylor Townsend in the opening round, No. 2 seed Elise Mertens is now coming up against Tatjana Maria at the WTA 250 in Singapore. How will the Belgian handle her opponent’s tricky slice-and-dice game? Meanwhile, No. 4 seed Xinyu Wang faces a tough challenger in 18-year-old Maya Joint. Who do you think will prevail?
WTA Singapore Day 4 Predictions
Hailey Baptiste vs Kimberly Birrell
Head-to-head: First meeting
Kimberly Birrell handed a surprisingly quick exit to the recent Brisbane runner-up Polina Kudermetova, while Hailey Baptiste recovered from a disastrous opening set to defeat Renata Zarazua. The American should have a stronger game indoors and when Birrell was trying to play in these conditions last year, her results were poor (1-5 at the ITF level). Baptiste isn’t as much of an attacker as Kudermetova and should have a better chance at not hitting herself off the court against a solid opponent. Prediction: Baptiste in 3
Maya Joint vs Xinyu Wang
Head-to-head: First meeting
Maya Joint can already be proud of how she’s developing this season and things can only improve from here. The Australian survived an indoor specialist in Alycia Parks in the opening round, but it won’t be as easy to draw out errors from Xinyu Wang here. The No. 4 seed has a much steadier attacking game and while she was involved in a tough opener against Rebecca Marino, that was just a high-quality encounter between two players who enjoyed the indoor conditions in Singapore. Wang is the favorite, but Joint can be very dangerous. Prediction: Wang in 3
It’s been a while since Jil Teichmann found her peak game, but she seems to be on fire this week with just fourteen games dropped in three matches. Olivia Gadecki posted a solid win over Moyuka Uchijima, which was important considering the Australian was getting some horrible draws to start the season and hadn’t won a set in 2025 yet. Teichmann can still be a strong player on her day and if she keeps up that quality, her upside is higher than Gadecki’s at the moment. Prediction: Teichmann in 3
Elise Mertens vs Tatjana Maria
Head-to-head: Mertens 1-0
Tatjana Maria has now won six matches in a row with her ITF Bangalore title and the opening win over Yulia Starodubtseva. Despite two tricky battles near the end of last week, the 37-year-old had enough left in the tank to torment the Ukrainian with her slice-and-dice game. But it’s much tougher to pull this playstyle off against an experienced opponent. After so many years on tour, there’s little that can surprise Elise Mertens and she should be ready for Maria’s unusual brand of tennis. Prediction: Mertens in 2

As we head into Day 4 of the WTA Finals in Singapore, excitement is building as some of the top women's tennis players in the world battle it out for a spot in the finals. One of the most anticipated matches of the day is between Elise Mertens and Maria Sakkari.
Mertens, the Belgian powerhouse, has been in top form recently and is coming off a strong performance in her last match. She will be looking to continue her winning streak and secure a spot in the semifinals.
On the other hand, Sakkari, the Greek sensation, has also been playing well and has shown that she is a force to be reckoned with on the court. She will be looking to upset Mertens and make a statement in this tournament.
Both players have a lot at stake in this match and it is sure to be a thrilling encounter. In my prediction, I believe that Mertens will come out on top with her powerful groundstrokes and aggressive style of play. However, I expect Sakkari to put up a tough fight and push Mertens to her limits.
Overall, this match is sure to be a must-watch for tennis fans and I can't wait to see how it unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates on the WTA Finals in Singapore!

Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score: Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss and opted to bat first, with Josh Inglis making his Test debut.
Australia are already through to the World Test Championship final and the result in this series is inconsequential in that context. The Aussies will take on South Africa in the WTC final in June this year at Lord’s.
However, it’s a big day for Josh Inglis who has received his baggy green and will be making his Test debut.
Sri Lanka had an opportunity to reach the WTC final if they had secured victory in either of their two Test matches against South Africa in the previous year. However, following their inability to achieve this, Sri Lanka’s best possible outcome now is to secure the position immediately after the finalists, Australia and South Africa.
To accomplish this, they must achieve a clean sweep with a 2-0 series victory.
Australia Dominating Sri Lanka in the 1st Test
In what has been a dominant display by the Australian cricket team, they have reached a formidable total of 383/2 in 95.2 overs on Day 2 of the 1st Test against Sri Lanka. The batsmen have shown great resilience and skill as they continue to pile on the runs.
Opener David Warner led the charge with a brilliant century, scoring 145 runs before being dismissed. His partner, Usman Khawaja, also played a solid innings, contributing 89 runs to the team’s total. Marnus Labuschagne has now joined Khawaja at the crease and is looking to build on their partnership.
The Sri Lankan bowlers have struggled to make an impact on the Australian batting line-up, with only two wickets falling so far. They will need to regroup and come up with a plan to break this partnership and put pressure on the Australian batsmen.
As the match progresses, it will be interesting to see how the Sri Lankan team responds to this challenge and if they can turn the tide in their favor. Stay tuned for more updates on the Sri Lanka vs Australia Live Score.

Ryan O’Reilly and Gustav Nyquist tallied for Nashville in their 5-2 loss against the Ducks, while Juuse Saros took the loss in net.
Per NHL Stats, Filip Forsberg extended his point streak to 10 games and joined Jonathan Marchessault (10 GP) as the second Predators with runs of that length this season. The pair became just the second pair of teammates in franchise history to post double-digit runs in the same season behind Roman Josi (13 GP) and Matt Duchene (10 GP) in 2021-22.
The Good Guys:
Forsberg continues to lead the Preds with 18 goals and 49 points, followed by Marchessault with 38 points (15g-23a) and Roman Josi (9g-26a) with 35 points. Steven Stamkos has 17 goals and 33 points on the season; O’Reilly has 14 tallies and 28 points. Saros is 11-19-6 in net; Justus Annunen is 12-6-0 overall.
The Opposition:
The Canucks have won their last two outings, including a 5-2 victory over the Blues in St. Louis on Monday. Quinn Hughes (14g-42a) leads the club with 56 points, followed by J.T. Miller (9g-25a) with 34 points, and then Brock Boeser (16g-17a) and Conor Garland (13g-20a) with 33 points each. Former Preds goaltender Kevin Lankinen is 18-8-6 with the Canucks this season; Thatcher Demko is 3-5-3.
All-Time Meetings:
The Predators are 37-42-(2)-7 all-time against the Canucks, including a 19-18-(1)-6 record at Bridgestone Arena.
The Predators are 2-3-0 in their last five games against the Canucks; they are 5-4-1 in their last 10; and 2-3-0 in their last five at home.
The two teams met in the First Round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs; Vancouver won the series, 4-2. Filip Forsberg led Nashville with six points (2g-4a) in the six-game series. It was the second time they have met in the postseason – in the first meeting, the 2011 Western Conference Semifinals, the Canucks won, 4-2.
Notables Versus Vancouver:
Jonathan Marchessault has recorded 26 points (11g-15a) in 24 career games against Vancouver, the fourth-most points he has vs. a single franchise. He has points in his last four meetings with Vancouver (3g-2a).
Steven Stamkos has collected 31 points (19g-12a) in 22 games against the Canucks. His 1.08 points per game against Vancouver are the most he has recorded against any team in his career (min. 3 GP).
Juuse Saros is 7-2-1 in his career against Vancouver in the regular season. Saros stopped 30-of-32 shots on Feb. 1, 2022 vs. Vancouver to earn his 100th career NHL win.
North Vancouver native Colton Sissons has 13 points (8g-5a) in 24 career games against the Canucks.
Roman Josi has points in nine of his last 13 games (2g-8a) against Vancouver. He also has 19 points (2g-17a) in his last 22 games vs. the Canucks and posted a six-game point streak (7a) against Vancouver from Jan. 10, 2017-Dec. 13, 2018.
