It’s hard to imagine you could have better quarterfinals with a field this good – even without Swiatek or Gauff.
Rybakina v Muchova. Sabalenka v Keys.
So much more.
If these matchups happen in a few weeks at the Australian Open there isn’t a single fan who will be disappointed.
Well, check that; there will always be SOMEONE complaining.
In the end, Rybakina and Andreeva are out, Sabalenka and Pegula move on among the top seeds.
(Brisbane is 15 hours ahead of EST, Auckland is 18 hours ahead)
