The men's and women's singles quarter-final line-ups will be completed on Monday, with several big names in fourth-round action.

Defending women's champion Madison Keys will take on fellow American Jessica Pegula.

Fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti and ninth seed Taylor Fritz will do battle to see who will face Novak Djokovic in the last eight, while American eighth seed Ben Shelton faces Casper Ruud, the 12th seed from Norway.

And both of the second seeds are in action, with Jannik Sinner in an all-Italian tie against Luciano Darderi and Iga Swiatek taking on Australian qualifier Maddison Inglis.

In a day dominated by one-sided matches, a big shock came from off the court as Novak Djokovic's fourth-round opponent Jakub Mensik withdrew from the tournament because of injury.

The Czech 16th seed, who had made it to the fourth round in Melbourne for the first time in his career, said he has been struggling with an abdominal muscle injury throughout the tournament.

Djokovic will get a couple of days' extra rest as a result of advancing straight through to the quarter-finals, where he will face either Italian fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti or American ninth seed Taylor Fritz.

Top seeds Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka cruised through to the quarter-finals.

Sabalenka overcame Canadian rising star Victoria Mboko, the 17th seed, in straight sets, setting an Open era record for the most consecutive tie-breaks won at Grand Slams in the process.

Her reward is a last-eight tie against another dangerous teenager - and Mboko's doubles partner - in Iva Jovic. The 18-year-old American, seeded 29th, dropped just one game in her win over Yulia Putintseva.

Alcaraz beat American 19th seed Tommy Paul 7-6 (8-6) 6-4 7-5 and will face Australian favourite Alex de Minaur on Tuesday after the sixth seed cruised to victory over Alexander Bublik, losing just six games.

Learner Tien, 20, produced a similarly emphatic performance to down 11th seed Daniil Medvedev and reach his first Grand Slam quarter-final. 2025 finalist Alexander Zverev made it past Francisco Cerundolo in straight sets.

Women's third seed Coco Gauff proved too strong for Karolina Muchova, winning 6-1 3-6 6-3, while 12th seed Elina Svitolina comfortably beat teenage eighth seed Mirra Andreeva.

Two British players have advanced to the quarter-finals of the men's doubles and a third could join them on Monday.

Neal Skupski and his American partner Christian Harrison were leading 5-0 against Dutch duo Botic van de Zandschulp and Talon Griekspoor before receiving a walkover win.

The sixth seeds could face a Briton in the last eight, with Henry Patten and Finland's Harry Heliovaara - the second seeds - in action against Czech pair Petr Nouza and Patrik Rikl on Monday.

Meanwhile, unseeded Luke Johnson and Jan Zielinski (Poland) beat John-Patrick Smith and Adam Pavlasek in straight sets.

However, it was a poor day in the mixed doubles.

All-British seventh seeds Patten and Olivia Nicholls lost in straight sets to James Tracy and Anna Danilina in the second round while eighth seeds Lloyd Glasspool and Tereza Mihalikova, as well as Johnson and Gabriela Dabrowski, fell at the same stage in three sets.

After reaching her fourth Australian Open quarter-final, Elina Svitolina said: "It's unbelievable, I'm very pleased with the performance tonight, I had to really put up a fight and fight until the very last point.

"It was an extremely nerve-racking match and I was very happy with the way I held myself."

On what she did well: "I was expecting a tough battle and lots of rallies. I was trying to move my feet extremely well today, trying to be really focused, finding the small holes in her game and trying to use them."

Two of the four women's quarter-final matches are now set in stone.

Elina Svitolina will take on Coco Gauff, while top seed Aryna Sabalenka will be up against American teenager Iva Jovic.

It's a bit sad to see this reaction, because I'm not sure the crowd understand this situation between a Russian player and a Ukrainian player - they don't really shake hands.

It was the way that it was done. Mirra Andreeva walked very quickly to the chair umpire and straight to the chair which immediately drew the boos from the crowd, who thought she was just stomping off and not shaking hands with her opponent.

I think it might have been better if she held back a little bit and waited for Elina Svitolina to pass her, and that would have shown a different message.

After the match, there were a few boos from the crowd towards Mirra Andreeva - perhaps because of the lack of a handshake between the two players at the end.

Elina Svitolina has not shaken hands with Russian opponents since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Nine wins out of nine to start 2026 for Elina Svitolina.

She warmed up for the Australian Open with five successive wins to lift the title in Auckland, and has followed that up with four straight wins in Melbourne.

I think Mirra Andreeva was flustered after what just happened where she's lost her composure, thrown the racquet, got a boo from the crowd and now she serves a double fault.

A tremendous serve out wide gets Mirra Andreeva out of trouble.

Gutsy.

But here's another match point as Andreeva goes wide off the backhand side...

Elina Svitolina waits for a high ball to drop and sends away a forehand winner, but then nets off the same wing to give away the next point. 15-15.

The next two points are shared, too. Mirra Andreeva dumps her racquet into the ground after netting an attempted drop shot.

And a double fault now! Match point Svitolina...

The frustration is starting to show for Mirra Andreeva as she sends a couple of groundstrokes off target.

We remain on serve but Elina Svitolina is just one game away from the quarter-finals.

You have to admire the way Mirra Andreeva handled that game, that was not easy, she really did earn it.

A big moment as Mirra Andreeva is taken to deuce, but the Russian outlasts Elina Svitolina in a lengthy rally to level the set again.

There will be a bit of extra tension in this game, but Elina Svitolina is so experienced, she's so hungry for success.

A flicker of a chance for Mirra Andreeva at 30-30 on Elina Svitolina's serve but the Russian sends a backhand wide and another into the net.

Could be a key hold of serve as we approach the business end of set two.

Elina Svitolina has performed very well at Grand Slams since returning to the tour in 2023 following the birth of her daughter.

She's reached at least the quarter-finals in five of her past 11 major appearances - a very good strike rate.

Mirra Andreeva holds her at bay for now, holding to 30 to level the second set once more.
