Swiatek, Tstsipas advance to quarter-finals of Australian Open 2022

The strong doubles pairing of Dabrowski and Olmos were ousted from the competition in a major upset

Iga Swiatek dominated from the baseline to defeat Daria Kasatkina of Russia 6-2, 6-3 to reach the Australian Open fourth round. Kasatkina, a former top 10 player, had won the pair's sole prior meeting in 2021, although that match was on grass. The former French Open winner struck 24 winners. She broke Kasatkina's serve twice in each set to win in 1 hour and 34 minutes on Margaret Court Arena.

The fourth seed didn't quite achieve it his way, but he nevertheless advanced to the fourth round in Melbourne, defeating the bearded Benoit Paire 6-3, 7-5, 6-7 (2), 6-4 in 2 hours and 42 minutes.
