Fourth-round action continues as Stefanos Tsitsipas takes on Jannik Sinner and Victoria Azarenka goes up against Zhu Lin.
Sinner gets to the net for 15-30, but Tsitsipas serves out. Sinner meanwhile, was a quarter -finalist last year, as he was in all four Slams, and lost to Sasha Zverev in the last eight. And then Tsitsipas overcooks his return for a love hold. But with a leap, and a crashing backhand, Sinner ties the match. Tsitsipas is finding his eye on serve, and in coming to the net on 30-15, shows off his athleticism. Tsitsipas can serve for the first set. A fist pump as a serve is unreturned for 15-0, and then a walloped forehand for 30-0. Sinner gets back in the groove, with a big serve for 40-15, his second ace. And Sinner feathers a drop shot to take the lead in the second set. To go 40-15 up, Sinner comes out on top in a great rally, using the speed of the ball to drop a winner beyond Tsitsipas. Big roar as Sinner watches a forehand fly past him and out. Tsitsipas races to 40-0, a big second serve on the third point taking him there.
