djokovic will face alexander zverev in the semis. he beat the american tommy paul in four sets to reach the last four for the second sraight year. the women's champion, aryna sabalenka, is into the semis after a 19th win in a row at melbourne park. the world number one, who is looking to secure a hat—trick of australian open titles, had to work really hard to battle past the 27th seed anastasia pavlyuchenkova. she won the first set 6—2 but lost the second by the same margin and then went a break down in the decider, but turned it around to take the decider 6—3. and she will play paula badosa, who stunned the world number three coco gauff. the spaniard, who almost quit tennis last year with a chronic back condition, won in straight sets to reach her first grand slam semi—final. the champions league returns this week.

it's the penultimate round of matches, with qualification for the last 16 still in the balance for so many clubs — the likes of p56 and manchester city are battling for a play—off spot. liverpool are the only side with a 100% record, with six wins out of six, and need just one point to guarantee direct progress to the knockout stage. and if they win at home to lille and barcelona fail to beat benfica, arne slot�*s side would be sure of finishing top of the 36—team league and that should get them a kinder draw for the round of 16. i love looking at a league table in the way of, if we are number one, we probably have the most easy team to face because that is impossible to say mean in a negative way,

but a strange format we are having now. it has a lot to do with the teams that you face. we want to win but not from an idea that it will probably give us the best meet up for the rest of the campaign. a further eight fixtures in the champions league tonight, with early starts for monaco — aston villa and atalanta — sturm graz. atletico madrid in 11th, who host fourth—placed bayer leverkusen. barcelona in second will look to take advantage of any slip by liverpool, while dortmund could take a step towards a top—eight finish with a win at bologna. in the nba, donovan mitchell once again led the way for the cleveland cavaliers as they eased past the phoenix suns to continue their strong start to season. initially, it was mitchell's team—mate darius garland who got the cavaliers heading towards yet another win. he finished with 16

points and seven assists. but it was mitchell who came to the fore. he scored 23 of his 33 points after half—time as cleveland improved their overall record to 36—6. that represents the eighth best start to an nba season. lots more on the bbc sport website or your bbc sport app, but that is all from me for now. let's bring you more from turkey now, and our breaking news. 66 people have died after a fire erupted at her hotel in a fire erupted at her hotel in a popular turkish ski resort in the central province of bolu. these are our live pictures with lots of fire crew still at the scene and this happened at about 330 in the morning, the fire quickly engulfing the grand kartal hotel which is clad with wood and the turkish

storm eowyn, the fifth of the season, has been named by the met office, and it's expected to bring widespread gales. gusts of wind in some areas up to 80 miles an hour. so we say goodbye to our relatively quiet spell, the weak area of low pressure, and instead we'll look towards the western atlantic for this rapidly developing storm system, which is likely to, as i say, bring some disruptive weather by the time we get to friday. but for the meantime, still a little bit of fog around both to the south of this weather front and indeed to the north, but some brightness and some sunshine too. and scattered showers in northwestern scotland, parts of northern ireland, and a little bit more sunshine than recent days further south of our weather front. but there are a few sharper bursts of rain on our weather front, which only slowly meanders its way southwards overnight. we've also got a weather front approaching from the south, so it might be that the frost is more limited here and perhaps the fog more limited overnight, but it instead looks a bit chillier further north of our weather front, where the showers continue mostly around the coast and bright weather again tomorrow away

from the showery north west. we've still got a couple of weather fronts in southern areas, so quite a bit of cloud. any patchy fog or frost will lift, and probably a little bit more cloud than today, and temperatures will be just a degree or so lower. but for most of us, rounding about average actually for the time of year. so that weather front clears away from the south. and as we go through the night into thursday, you may have seen that first weather front approaching. so not as cold for northern ireland, but certainly a chilly one elsewhere with some brightness or sunshine first thing. but again, it doesn't last. this is not the storm system, but this is the first significant rain, really, that we've had for all parts for some time. and it will turn to snow over the hills because it's encountering our current cold air, about five to nine celsius, but i think it will still feel chilly because it will take a time for those temperatures to recover. and here comes storm eowyn. by the time we get to friday widespread gales, heavy rain for a time, snow over the hills as well temporarily, and certainly in the showers following on behind. all of us will experience a very windy spell of weather, but in some parts where the warnings are out currently, northern ireland, scotland, gusts of 70—80mph could cause some disruption, of course,

and some damage as well. there's more as ever on the website.
