Ashleigh Barty: 2-1: (+300)

Karolina Muchova: (+350)

 

• Following slow starts in her last couple of matches, world no. 1 Ashleigh Barty gets the job done on Monday without much fuss, beating Shelby Rogers, 6-3, 6-4, to reach the quarterfinals. In contrast, she needed a match tiebreaker to defeat the American in their warm-up clash days ago.

• Karolina Muchova dealt with a nagging abdominal concern and rallied from 0-4 down in the first set to stun 18th seed Elise Mertens, 7-6, 7-5, and reach her second Grand Slam quarterfinal. She was expected to fold away, just as in the pair’s only previous encounter at Ostrava last October.
