Shelton meets defending champion Sinner in 2026 Australian Open quarter-final

Eighth seed Shelton faces defending champion Sinner in the final quarter-final of the 2026 Australian Open.

The article says the Italian has reached the final of the last five Grand Slams, and it adds that Sinner could once again meet Alcaraz in the tournament final. It also notes Shelton believes he can progress if he delivers his best.

Mashable says the match is available to live stream for free on 9Now, which is geo-restricted to Australia. The outlet advises viewers can access 9Now from anywhere by using a VPN to connect to a server in Australia.

The article recommends ExpressVPN for bypassing geo-restrictions and lists features including servers in 105 countries (including Australia), apps for major devices, a strict no-logging policy, fast connection speeds, up to 10 simultaneous connections and a 30-day money-back guarantee. It cites a one-year sale price of $59.88 with an extra three months free (69% off) and a one-month plan for $12.99, both with money-back guarantees.

Mashable notes the best VPNs for streaming are not free but often offer free trials or money-back guarantees, which it says can be used to watch the Australian Open without spending money, though this is not presented as a long-term solution.
