Svitolina beats Kudermetova to reach quarter-finals
Elina Svitolina beats Veronika Kudermetova in straight sets ( 6-4, 6-1) at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne to set up a clash with American Madison Keys.
Svitolina has reached the last four in Grand Slams on three previous occasions, at Wimbledon in 2019 and 2023, and the US Open in 2019, but never in Australia.
Keys, who reached her maiden Slam semi-final at the 2015 Australian Open, beat the 2023 runner-up Elena Rybakina 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 in 1hr 49min.
