Australian Open quarterfinal predictions: Rybakina vs. Ostapenko, Pegula vs. Azarenka

Two women’s singles quarterfinals in the top half of the draw are scheduled for Tuesday, January 24. WTA results are always unpredictable and we often have surprise champions, but let’s try to preview the upcoming matches and pick the favorites.

Elena Rybakina [22] vs. Jelena Ostapenko [17]

The first women’s singles quarterfinal will be contested between players who have reached this stage at the Australian Open for the first time. However, both have won Grand Slams, although not on hard courts. Elena Rybakina’s triumph at a major was more recent, at Wimbledon 2022, while Jelena Ostapenko won Roland Garros in 2017.
