Sabalenka completes Brisbane quarter-final line-up
The final results of the round of 16 at the WTA 500 Brisbane tournament are in.
Top seed 1 and favorite to win the title, Aryna Sabalenka had to battle hard, but finally ended her match in two sets against Yulia Putintseva (7-6, 6-4 in 1h49 of play).
This was her second win of the tournament, following her victory over Renata Zarazua in the previous round (6-4, 6-0).
The Brisbane quarter-finals take place this Friday. World number 1 Sabalenka will face Marie Bouzkova, who defeated Jelena Ostapenko and Victoria Azarenka in her last two rounds.
Also on the bill is the mouth-watering clash between Ons Jabeur and Mirra Andreeva.
In the bottom half of the draw, there were many surprises, with the early elimination of Navarro, Kasatkina, Shnaider and Kostyuk.
All remains open, and Ashlyn Krueger will face Polina Kudermetova, a qualifier.
Finally, Ukrainian player Anhelina Kalinina will face Australian wild card Kimberly Birrell, who eliminated Emma Navarro and Anastasia Potapova in succession, for a place in the last four of the first WTA 500 of the 2025 season.
