Day 9 of 2022 Australian Open has some very interesting matches to look forward to, with four quarterfinals scheduled on Tuesday. Slam champions Rafael Nadal, Ashleigh Barty and Barbora Krejcikova will all be seen in action on the day.
Nadal has looked good so far in this tournament. The 20-time Grand Slam champion beat Marcos Giron, Yannick Hanfmann, Karen Khachanov and Adrian Mannarino to book his place in the quarterfinals.
He will next face 14th seed Denis Shapovalov, who has been improving with each round. The Canadian survived scares from Laslo Djere and Kwon Soon-woo before defeating Reilly Opelka in four sets and third seed Alexander Zverev in straight sets.
Seventh seed Matteo Berrettini reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the first time in his career by defeating Pablo Carreno Busta in straight sets. He will now face the experienced Gael Monfils for a place in the semifinals.
In women's singles, top seed Ashleigh Barty will be keen to move a step closer to her third Grand Slam title as she takes on the gritty Jessica Pegula in the last eight. Pegula reached the quarterfinals of the tournament for the second successive year by eliminating fifth seed Maria Sakkari in the fourth round.
Another quarterfinal to watch out for is between fourth seed Barbora Krejcikova and Madison Keys, who beat the in-form Paula Badosa in the previous round.
