–
MELBOURNE, Australia – Quarterfinals for Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe and – on paper – a much easier match than their hard-fought victories earlier in the tournament.
Which didn’t mean it’ll be any easier, just that it shaped up that way. And so it was, as they routined into the semis.
Routliffe and Kiwi partner Michael Venus, who got a walkover in the second round of the mixed, also have a quarterfinal to play in that event later in the day.
(Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of ET.
