The Belarusian, who won the Australian Open in 2012 and 2013, is making a strong impression again this year. Azarenka defeated Elina Svitolina smoothly 6:0 and 6:2 and meets Barbora Krejcikova in the round of 16.

The reigning French Open champion had to fight hard against Jelena Ostapenko and finally won 2: 6, 6: 4 and 6: 4.

Another round of 16 has already been decided: Maria Sakkari, who defeated Veronika Kudermetova with &.4 and 6:1, plays against Jessica Pegula. The American defeated Nuria Parizzas Diaz from Spain 7: 6 (2) and 6: 2.
