Geech, Day 9 already. To think it was only this time last week that Murray v Berrettini played that epic 5-setter. As they say, a week is a long time in sport. Today, we had a dramatic 5-setter, where it seemed neither player wanted to win, and a Novak thrashing on ADM. It is the start of the quarter-finals and the wheelchair events.

[22] Rybakina vs. [17] Ostapenko.
Ostapenko 2-0 H2H.
See ball hit ball. This will be fun to watch and the best match of the womens side, both sides of the draw. Rybakina was so so good against Swiatek but equally, Ostapenko was very good v Gauff. These girls are big big hitters. I think the difference will be the serve. Ostapenko is not as big of a nutcase on the serve as she used to be, but Rybakina is the best server on tour.

Korda 2-1 H2H.
This should be really fun. Korda has done very very well to get to this stage while Karen has backed up his semi-final run at the US Open last with a very comfy run to the quarters. They played each 3 times over the last 2 years, including a 5th set match at the 2021 Wimbledon, which had 13 breaks of serve in the last set (10-8). I like Karen's level.

2-2 H2H
The Head-to-head includes the 2021 Aus Open, round of 16. This was one of her first big wins by Pegula. Pegula will be too good for a tired Azarenka.

Tsitsipas 1-0 H2H
Lehecka had a good run and have beaten some low seeds in Norrie and FAA. Still, I think Tsitsipas
