Zheng sweeps into last eight, as Alcaraz set to face Zverev

China Daily  

China's Zheng Qinwen reacts after beating Oceane Dodin of France to reach the last eight. MELBOURNE, Australia－Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz will meet Olympic gold medalist Alexander Zverev in the Australian Open quarterfinals and Daniil Medvedev is also back in a last eight that is stacked with the top six seeds. No 12-seeded Zheng Qinwen, a quarterfinalist at last year's US Open, is the highest-ranked player left in the top half of the bracket, where all four women who won Monday reached the last eight at Melbourne Park for the first time. "Every match I'm playing, I'm feeling better and better on a court I haven't played that much," Alcaraz, the only man to beat Djokovic in a major last year, said of his buildup here. Yastremska beat the 18th-seeded Victoria Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion, 7-6,6-4, and No 23-seeded Elina Svitolina had to retire after hurting her back when she was trailing Noskova 3-0.
