Day 9 results from the 2015 Australian Open

The 2015 Australian Open has already been comprised of more twists and turns and Day 9 of the action from Melbourne only added to the tournament's unpredictability. Tuesday's conclusion sent two men and two women into the semifinals; however, the players who ultimately advanced may come as a surprise.

On the women's side, No. 10 Ekaterina Makarova continued her impressive run, defeating No. 3 Simona Halep in consecutive sets. The Russian produced an accurate serve and limited her unforced errors to force the upset. However, that wasn't the biggest shock of the day.
The men's bracket lost No. 3 Rafael Nadal, who fell to No. 7 Tomas Berdych in three sets. The Spaniard couldn't fend off his opponent's monstrous serve and was sent packing as a result. Nadal has now failed to reach the tournament's semifinal round in each of his appearances since winning the event in 2009.
Based on what we've been experiencing in Australia so far, there may be more upsets on the horizon during Day 10 action. Before things get underway once again, here's a look back at the scores from Day 9, followed by a glance into the future.
