Johanna Konta of Britain hits foreman return to Denisa Allertova of the Czech Republic during their …

Defending champion, Serena Williams, also had an easy entrance to the fourth round of the Australian Open. That is the third-longest streak in WTA history after Steffi Graf’s 186 in a row and Martina Navratilova’s 156.

In the fourth-round, Konta faces No. 21-seeded Ekaterina Makarova, a semifinalist here previous year.

Roger Federer has recorded his 300th grand slam match win to safely advance to the 4th round at the Australian Open.

“I always think of classic, so I wanted a pleated skirt because a pleated skirt is very classic”. Federer has now beaten Dimitrov in all five career meetings. Gavrilova, who became a permanent resident in 2013 and received her Australian passport in December, is the only Australian woman left in the singles draw. Puig didn’t win another game after that. I thought she played really well at Wimbledon. “She’s an incredibly tough opponent and I knew I had to run down each ball and fight for every point”.

Sharapova was clearly not aware that her third-round victory over Davis took her to the 600 mark. At 40-0 down in her service game, Kasatkina saved one match point. “I think played really solid, executed my game well, and happy with that”.

“She showed me what I have to do on the court, I have to work like an animal”.

Playing on centre court against the top seed at a Grand Slam was a huge occasion for the 18-year-old, who was not only making her debut at the tournament but is on her first ever trip to Australia.

After beating Venus Williams a few weeks ago, Daria Kasatkina had the opportunity to do the double over the Williams sisters, something not many players have managed. So if you had 6-4, 75, they were like, What’s going on?

Tsonga, the 2008 runner-up to Novak Djokovic, reached the round of 16 for the seventh time.

Williams won all 10 points at the net and lost just three points on serve in the entire match to teach Kasatkina a harsh lesson. Seven doubles matches have been postponed.

After another hold of serve by Williams, it looked like there was no hope for her young opponent.

It’s the fourth year in a row Wawrinka has made it to the fourth round at Melbourne Park.

Seven doubles matches have already been postponed until Saturday, and more could follow.

On Day 5 at the Australian Open, rain wreaked a bit of havoc, but not as much as Serena Williams, who cruised into the Round of 16 with a stunning performance.

Ivanovic won the first set against American Madison Keys 6-4 and was ahead on serve 1-0 in the second when play was stopped.

Sharapova and Bencic will be playing against each other for the very first time. All in all a good week for Sharapova, who will face No. 12 seed Belinda Bencic for a spot in the quarterfinals. Her reward: Serena Williams.
