It wasn't supposed to be this way, but the 2024 Australian Open has no plans to stick to a script as a number of matches throughout this year's women singles draw has revealed. Since the tournament began last week, upsets have existed as seed has sprung as seed has been rife, especially after seed fell to unpopular opponents. However, some believed Iga Swiatek would be bulletproof. The Polish superstar - and world No. 1 - seemed almost certain of defeating Aryna Sabalenka last year in a thrilling final at Rod Laver Arena on a peerless match-winning streak.

The decision concerned Peter Kabel, a German entrepreneur, and 13 other Hideaways investors. They are being sued by the corporation for refusing to pay membership fees. The group gives investors the opportunity to purchase a part of a property portfolio made up of villas, chalets, and high-end apartments that they can book for holidays if they pay an additional membership fee each year to cover maintenance expenses.

Tim Henman (pictured), Tomas Berdych, Formula 1 racer Nick Heidfeld, and billionaire Mike Balfour, the company's original backers, were among the company's original backers, including tennis stars Tim Henman (pictured), Tomas Berdych, and billionaire Mike Balfour, the founder of the Fitness First gym chain. However, the company is facing a lawsuit brought by outraged investors, who claim they have been locked into paying tens of thousands of pounds per year, despite some being unable to live in a Hideaways home for years.
