HIGHLIGHTS-Tennis-Day 10 at the Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Jan 25 ( Reuters) - Highlights from day 10 of the Australian Open tennis championships on Wednesday (all times GMT):

0010 LUCIC-BARONI LOOKS TO CONTINUE FAIRYTALE

Croatia's Mirjana Lucic-Baroni and Czech fifth seed Karolina Pliskova receive a subdued welcome onto Rod Laver Arena with the crowd still trickling into the main court. Day 10 begins in brilliant conditions with the temperature under 19C and only expected to hit 23C later in the day.

Both players are making their Australian Open quarter-final debuts and the reward for victory will be a semi-final against either world number two Serena Williams or British ninth seed Johanna Konta, who play immediately afterwards.
