MELBOURNE, Jan 19 (Reuters) – Aryna Sabalenka brushed aside teenager Mirra Andreeva and Coco Gauff rallied past Belinda Bencic to reach the quarter-finals of the Australian Open and extend winning streaks as Melbourne Park stifled in the summer heat on Sunday.
Double defending champion Sabalenka’s 6-1 6-2 demolition of Andreeva took her run of consecutive victories at Melbourne Park to 18 matches, while Gauff made it nine wins in a row in 2025 by seeing off the Swiss scourge of major champions 5-7 6-2 6-1.
