Jan 27 (Reuters) - Highlights of the 10th day at the Australian Open on Tuesday (times GMT):

1143 ALCARAZ BEATS DE MINAUR TO END AUSTRALIAN HOPES

Spanish top seed Carlos Alcaraz continued his bid for a first title at Melbourne Park and a career Grand Slam with a dominant 7-5 6-2 6-1 victory over sixth seed Alex de Minaur.

De Minaur was the last remaining Australian player in the men's singles draw. Alcaraz will face world number three Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals.

0905 SVITOLINA CRUSHES GAUFF IN 59 MINUTES

Elina Svitolina upset Coco Gauff 6-1 6-2 to move into her first Australian Open semi-final, where she will meet top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

Gauff was far from her best in a 59-minute contest, with the American third seed serving poorly as she made five double faults.

0557 ZVEREV OVERPOWERS TIEN TO BOOK SEMI-FINAL SPOT

Third seed Zverev beat American 25th seed Learner Tien 6-3 6-7(5) 6-1 7-6(3) to reach the semi-finals for a fourth time.

The German fired 24 aces and 56 winners to seal victory.

Alexander Zverev will play Learner Tien under the roof at Rod Laver Arena. The roof was closed while Sabalenka was giving her on-court interview.

0212 SABALENKA STORMS INTO SEMI-FINALS

Top seed Aryna Sabalenka beat 18-year-old Iva Jovic 6-3 6-0 to reach a fourth consecutive semi-final at the Australian Open.

Jovic was no match for the power of twice champion Sabalenka, who fired 31 winners and seven aces -- including one on match point.

0040 PLAY STARTS ON ROD LAVER ARENA

Highly touted American teenager Iva Jovic, who is playing in her first Grand Slam as a seeded player, is battling big-hitting world number one Aryna Sabalenka in their quarter-final on Rod Laver Arena's centre court.

Another promising young American, 20-year-old Learner Tien, will look to build on his win over Daniil Medvedev by slaying another giant when he faces third seed Alexander Zverev in the day's second quarter-final.
