"Top seeds Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz are safely through to the quarter finals of the Australian Open in Melbourne. Sabalenka extended her reign as tiebreak queen to book a fourth successive appearance in the last eight while Alcaraz saw off the challenge of Tommy Paul. Third seed Coco Gauff also advanced to her third quarter-finals in a row with a 6-1 3-6 6-3 win over Czech Karolina Muchova in a late-afternoon match at Margaret Court Arena."
"In the men's draw top seed Alcaraz looked serene against 19th seed Paul, a semi-finalist in 2023. For all of Paul's credentials, Alcaraz appeared in cruise control in a 7-6(6) 6-4 7-5 win. "I guess the way that I would describe it is, you know, he kind of, like, suffocates you in a way," Paul said of Alcaraz. "He makes you feel like you have no time.""
Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz both advanced to the Australian Open quarterfinals in Melbourne. Sabalenka defeated Canada's 19-year-old Victoria Mboko 6-1 7-6(1), extending a Grand Slam tiebreak streak to 20 wins and reaching a 13th consecutive major quarter-final. Sabalenka produced a dominant opening set and faced a tougher second-set tiebreak before closing out the match. Coco Gauff beat Karolina Muchova 6-1 3-6 6-3 to reach her third straight Australian Open last eight. Top seed Alcaraz beat Tommy Paul 7-6(6) 6-4 7-5 and will face the winner of Alex de Minaur and Alexander Bublik. A cool change followed a day of extreme heat, providing relief for players and organisers.
