Details: Ukraine has secured its second representative in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open 2024 as Dayana Yastremska knocked out neutral player Victoria Azarenka from Belarus.

Yastremska was one of three Ukrainians to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open 2024. Earlier, Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk defeated "neutral" Russian Maria Timofeeva, securing a spot in the tournament's quarter-finals in Australia for the first time in her career.

Yastremska, who began her campaign in the qualification rounds, beat her seventh opponent from the tournament. This time, it was Azarenka, whom Dayana faced for the fourth time (with a 2-1 advantage for the "neutral" Belarusian).

The match between Yastremska and Azarenka lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes. Yastremska played aggressively, finishing the encounter with 38 winners and making 37 unforced errors.
