Fifth seed Aryna Sabalenka marches into the last 16 of the Australian Open in straight sets to set up a showdown with Olympic champion Belinda Bencic
Sabalenka needed just 74 minutes to beat her former doubles partner Belgian Elise Mertens - the pair won five titles together including the Australian Open in 2021.
The Belarusian swept past 32nd-ranked Belgian Elise Mertens 6-2, 6-3 in Margaret Court Arena on Saturday to burgeon her growing status as a favourite for the first Grand Slam of the year. "It's really tough to play against her, especially. She's a great player, unbelievable fighter," said the powerful Sabalenka, who is yet to win a major.
