Australian Open 2020: Day 9 Schedule, Preview and Order of Play
It's quarter-final time at the Australian Open 2020 with women's top-seed Ashleigh Barty in action on Day 9 alongside men's second and third seeds, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
Barty survived a second-set wobble against Alison Riske to set up a quarter-final meeting with seventh-seed Petra Kvitova who looked a lot more convincing in her fourth-round match against Maria Sakkari.
The Czech leads the seven-match head-to-head 4-3 and had, in fact, beaten Barty in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open last year.
Fourteenth-seed Sofia Kenin got past Coco Gauff in the fourth round and will face Tunisian, Ons Jabeur who upset former Australian Open champion Caroline Wozniacki en route to the last eight.
Jabeur has been in great form at Melbourne, this year, but may find it hard to match Kenin's prowess especially after the American's win against an in-form Coco Gauff.
Roger Federer has made his way to yet another quarter-final at Melbourne Park and although the Swiss star has had a few hiccups along the way, fans will expect to see the six-time Australian Open champion get past Tennys Sandgren to make his way into the last four.
Novak Djokovic has been clinical as ever and Canadian, Milos Raonic will need to come up with something special in order to cause an upset in the night-session clash at the Rod Laver Arena.
In the men's legends doubles round-robin clash, the Aussie duo of Pat Cash and Mark Woodforde will take on the Iranian-French pair of Mansour Bahrami and Fabrice Santoro.
