–

MELBOURNE, Australia – The only fourth-round match on this side of the draw that went according to plan was the one putting No. 8 seed Emma Navarro vs. No. 9 seed Daria Kasatkina. And it was as close as you’d expect.

Beyond that – lots of surprises including a resurgent Veronika Kudermetova, and the luckiest lucky loser, Eva Lys of Germany.

Elena Rybakina v Madison Keys was an absolute shootout. But the player in better current form – Keys – took it.

(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET).
