Aryna Sabalenka vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Prediction
Aryna Sabalenka has looked every bit the world number one at the Australian Open so far, and it will take some performance to stop her claiming a third straight title in Melbourne.
The Belarusian utterly dominated her highly-billed round of 16 contest with 17-year-old sensation Mirra Andreeva in a statement win, and she is now on an 18-match winning streak at the Australian Open with 17 of those victories coming in straight sets.
The number one seed next takes on Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who will feature in the last eight of this tournament for the fourth time in her career. The 33-year-old has gone from strength to strength in Melbourne, winning her last two matches in straight sets after deciding-set victories in her first two matches.
Her serve, which had been a little shaky in her first couple of games, has noticeably improved throughout the event and she hit ten aces against 18th seed Donna Vekic in the round of 16.
Although Pavluchenkova leads 2-1 in career meetings, the pair haven’t faced off since June 2021, with Sabalenka having become one of the leading protagonists in the women’s game since then. The two-time champion has looked in fearsome form so far and another routine victory beckons.
