Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz can set up a blockbuster quarter-final when the Australian Open enters the fourth round on Sunday while Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are also eyeing a place in the last eight. Djokovic continues his quest for a record 25th Grand Slam title against Czech 24th seed Jiri Lehecka in the prime-time evening match on Rod Laver Arena on Day 8 of the first Grand Slam of the year. The prize for the winner is a meeting with either Carlos Alcaraz or Britain's Jack Draper for a place in the semi-finals.
Aryna Sabalenka stayed on course for a historic third consecutive Australian Open crown on Sunday, ruthlessly blowing away teenager Mirra Andreeva to reach the quarter-finals. Sabalenka was in irresistible form on Rod Laver Arena, powering to a 6-1, 6-2 victory in just 62 minutes against the Russian 17-year-old, the Belarusian's 18th consecutive win at Melbourne Park. "I'm super happy to get through this difficult match in straight sets," said Sabalenka, who will face either Croatian 18th seed Donna Vekic or 27th seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova from Russia next.
Frenchman Corentin Moutet says he collapsed in the shower 45 minutes before his Australian Open third-round match, with everything going "black".

He lost in three tough sets, with the match marred by seemingly unrelated episode that saw Moutet fall to the floor clutching his leg while serving in the third set.

It was his own version of LeBron James' iconic «Silencer» move.

Balaji and Reyes-Varela had two opportunities to break Borges and Cabral in the second game of the opening set but could not capitalise.
