Ukraine's Yastremska Upsets Azarenka To Make Australian Open Quarters
Fearless Ukrainian qualifier Dayana Yastremska surged into a maiden Grand Slam quarter-final Monday, stunning two-time champion Victoria Azarenka at the Australian Open. Driven by a booming serve and aggressive groundstrokes, the athletic 23-year-old battled past the Belarusian 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena. Her reward is a clash with unseeded Czech Linda Noskova, who progressed to the last eight when Ukraine's Elina Svitolina retired with a bad back while trailing 3-0 in the first set.
