Anisimova reaches first Australian Open quarterfinal

Amanda Anisimova defeated Wang Xinyu 7–6(4), 6–4 to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals for the first time. The world number four completed her career set of last-eight appearances across the four Grand Slams while keeping a third consecutive major final within reach.

Anisimova relied on strong serving at important moments against a powerful first-time opponent. She also replaced a broken shoe during the opening set, then maintained concentration to win its tiebreak after fifty-one minutes before the match moved into a second set.

Wang received treatment for a right-leg problem after early exchanges of breaks. Anisimova finished with twenty-seven winners and twenty-seven unforced errors, acknowledging further room for improvement. The victory set up an all-American quarterfinal against Jessica Pegula, whom she had never beaten in three previous meetings.
