Azarenka cruises past Strycova

Victoria Azarenka bt Barbora Strycova 6-2 6-4 - Azarenka is always great at the Australian Open, and this year looks no different. The two-time winner in Melbourne thrashed Strycova, dominating on serve and playing solid from the baseline. Strycova couldn't keep up with Azarenka, making 32 unforced errors to the No. 4 seed's 14, and earning just two break points. Azarenka fought off both of Strycova's break point opportunities and won in just 82 minutes, setting herself up for a quarterfinal clash against Angelique Kerber.

Kerber dominant in win over Beck

Angelique Kerber bt Annika Beck 6-4 6-0 - A trying first set turned into a laugher of a second set as Kerber made her way into the Australian Open quarterfinals. It took the German an hour to get past Beck in the opening frame, as she struggled with her serve and committed 15 unforced errors. But Kerber did enough to take the set and rolled through the second. She cut her unfroced errors by a shirt, had 15 winners and won 27 points to Beck's 11 in an exquisite display. This quarterfinal berth marks the deepest Kerber has ever gone at the Australian Open.
