Australian Open Day 8: Sabalenka Beats Andreeva; Djokovic Sets Up Quarter-Final Versus Alcaraz
The business end is fast approaching at Melbourne Park, as the first fourth-round matches were played on Sunday (January 19, 2025) with quarter-final spots up for grabs. Two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka raced into the quarter-finals thanks to an 18th successive Australian Open victory, brushing aside talented teenager Mirra Andreeva 6-1 6-2 in just 62 minutes. On the men라이브 바카라 side, ten-time AO champion Novak Djokovic was too solid for young Czech Jiri Lehecka, getting the better of the 23-year-old 6-3 6-4 7-6(4) to move into his 15th Australian Open quarter-final and his 61st at all of the majors. That sets up a blockbuster with third seed Carlos Alcaraz, who only needed two sets on court on Sunday after his opponent Jack Draper retired with a hip injury with the Spaniard leading 7-5 6-1.
