Yesterday, the Australian Open produced a squad of eight in the men's and women's singles bottom half. On the men's singles side, there was no upset, and it was the higher-ranked players who won.
Although No. 2 seed Medvedev was at one point unable to do anything about Clessi's full-time serve-net tactics in the second half of the game, and although No. 4 seed Tsitsipas fell behind Fritz 1-2 in the set and was dragged to a five-set battle, they both eventually found a way to win the game.
Two post-00s players, Aliassim and Sinar, defeated Cilic and Deminarl respectively and will challenge the two current post-95 leaders in the quarterfinals. Detailed scores are shown in the signature table.
The women's singles were the complete opposite, with all three sets in all four games, with the exception of No. 7 seed Swatek beating Bogdan, and the other three games were won by lower-ranked players. Former Round Four Collins, the 27th seed, defeated 19th seed Mertens. Canepi and Cornett, two veterans, upset No. 2 seed Sabarenka and No. 14 seed Halep, respectively. Detailed scores are shown in the signature table.
