MELBOURNE, Jan 23 — Fifth seed Aryna Sabalenka was in unstoppable mood today as she sprinted into her maiden quarter-final at the Australian Open, blowing away Belinda Bencic with a brutal display of power hitting.
Sabalenka was troubled only once in the match, dropping her serve early in the first set to the Swiss 12th seed. "My whole life, it took me a little while to understand that negative emotion is not gonna help you on court," said Sabalenka, who reached the US Open semi-final last season but had never been beyond the fourth round at Melbourne Park before."So just super happy with the mind set during the game today. Yeah, I did a wonderful job."
They each won titles in Adelaide this month, both were yet to drop a set in Melbourne before the last-16 showdown, and both were on seven-match unbeaten runs.
