(2) Iga Swiatek vs. (8) Emma Navarro
Perhaps the most exciting of all the women’s quarter-final matches will see Swiatek, who has never won an Aussie Open title, take on Emma Navarro – a player who has gone the distance in each of her four matches to progress to the quarter-finals in Melbourne for the first time in his career.
(19) Madison Keys vs. (28) Elina Svitolina
Keys has always been a player capable of making strong runs in Grand Slam tournaments. However, she has never reached a final since the US Open in 2017. She is set to take on Svitolina, who is trying to reach a major hardcourt semifinal for the first time since the 2019 US Open.
