Australian Open quarter-finals: Tsitsipas beats Lehecka, Azarenka routs Pegula – as it happened

Victoria Azarenka and Elena Rybakina reached the semi-finals, with Karen Khachanov and Stefanos Tsitsipas following suit

Pegula 4-6 Azarenka* (* denotes next server).

Pegula starts her service game strongly but a needless hoick into the net from close range pegs her back to 15-15, and Azarenka's smart backhand volley at the net gives her another chink at 15-30. She dominates the next point too with more smart volleying to gain two more set points. And this time Azarenka cashes in. Set point No 5 is converted when Pegula sends a forehand wide. Just as momentum looked as if it was with the No 3 seed, Azarenka has shown her tenacity to snatch the set.
