"Keys, who won her first Grand Slam at Melbourne Park last year, had no such luck against her compatriot, close friend and podcast partner Pegula, who won 6-3, 6-4. Pegula finds herself in another all-American match, this time against the powerful Amanda Anisimova, who dispatched China's Wang Xinyu 7-6 (4), 6-4 on a hot afternoon. Their fourth-round wins on Day 9 meant four Americans have reached the women's singles quarterfinals in Australia for the first time since 2001."
"Meanwhile, six-time major champion Iga Swiatek ended the fairytale run of qualifier Maddison Inglis to set up a quarterfinal with fifth-seeded Elena Rybakina. The Polish second seed, who is chasing a maiden Melbourne title, was in a different class than the Australian, who suffered a 6-0, 6-3 demolition job on Rod Laver Arena. It brought to a close the life-changing run of Inglis, who was thrust into the prime-time contest when Naomi Osaka withdrew from their third-round match with an injury."
