First up on a scorching seventh day in Melbourne is the world number one Caroline Wozniacki as she aims for a place in the last eight. But she's slow to get out of the blocks against a flying Latvian
Anastasija Sevastova may be ranked 46 but she blasts a bag load of winners from the baseline to rock Wozniacki. After leading 3-1 in the first set, the 20-year-old's domination quickly crumbles on Rod Laver Arena
Sevastova loses the opening set 6-4 and then wins her first game in seven to show some fight in the second set but the Dane holds firm to edge into the Australian Open quarter-finals for the first time
More action in the women's last 16 as eighth seed Victoria Azarenka takes on China's Na Li but the Belarus star loses a pretty miserable first set with 14 unforced errors against last year's semi-finalist
Li Na, looking to improve on her last-four spot in Australia last year, continues to be too much of a handful and it's a fairly comfortable 6-3 6-3 win in 84 minutes for the ninth seed.
Serbia show off their top talent as Ana Ivanovic rocks up to Hisense Arena to view compatriot and world number three Novak Djokovic take on 14th seed Nicolas Almagro
Djokovic didn't need any help after all as the 23-year-old produces 31 winners and 12 aces in a straight sets 6-3 6-4 6-0 demolition of Amalgro in just 84 minutes. We'll forgive him for the 17 unforced errors
All eyes on the ball for the world number two Roger Federer as the 29-year-old opens up with three aces to comfortably take the first set against Tommy Robredo in 32 minutes
Any way back for the Spaniard? You bet there is, as the 52nd seed roars back to stun the Swiss by nabbing the second set. It's a thrilling battle on Rod Laver Arena as Robredo looks to cause a huge shock in Melbourne
As temperatures soar, Robredo does his best to stay cool in the heat of the battle but his Swiss opponent slowly moves through the gears to sneak the third set and relieve some of the pressure from his legendary shoulders
With the 'hotdog' shot perfected, Federer adds to his repertoire with a defensive overhead on his knees. Robredo's weapons slowly disintegrate as the second seed bags his 27th consecutive Grand Slam quarter-final
The number six seed Tomas Berdych eases into the quarter-finals with a straight sets 6-4 6-2 6-3 victory over Spain's Fernando Verdasco
The sun is still high in the sky when French Open champion Francesca Schiavone takes the first set off Svetlana Kuznetsova as they battle for the right to play Wozniacki in the last eight
Kuznetsova storms back in the second set but there is nothing between the duo in an epic deciding set that lasts three hours and leaves both players out on their feet
Schiavone survives six match points, and both players need several visits for the trainer, before the Italian finally despatches a forehand volley to seal a memorable 6-4 1-6 16-14 win
It takes Schiavone four hours and 44 minutes to seal victory, setting a new record for the longest women's Grand Slam match in the professional era
Andrea Petkovic encounter with former champion Maria Sharapova is over considerably quicker, but there is a shock on Rod Laver Arena with the 2008 winner beaten in straight sets by her German opponent
