After knocking out second seed Karolina Pliskova in the third round, Russian female tennis star Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova will look to secure her place in the quarterfinals when she meets former champion Angelique Kerber in the fourth round of the Australian Open.
The Russian player had upset Pliskova 7-6, 7-6 in the previous round while Kerber had been stretched by her Italian opponent, Camila Giorgi, in the third round. These two players are known to be arch-rivals as they have a 7-6 head-to-head record which favours the German player.
Talking about their journey in the 2020 Australian Open so far, Angelique Kerber had recorded comfortable wins in the first two rounds but, Giorgi forced her into a three-setter during the previous match. On the other hand, Anastasia is yet to drop a set in this tourney and has dumped the second seed out of the competition.
While the odds favor the 17th seed Kerber to emerge victorious in this match, the Russian player will look to take the advantage of her momentum and seal her place in the Australian Open quarter-finals for the third time in her career.
