The Australian Open - the opening Grand Slam of the season - is approaching the decisive moments, when today (Monday) the picture of the immigrants for the quarterfinals was completed.
Danil Medvedev, ranked second in the world, continues to take advantage of Novak Djokovic's absence, perhaps all the way to the top of the rankings, after marking another V and advancing to the last eight.
The Russian defeated Maxim Kersey (70) 2: 6, 6: 7, 7: 6, 5: 7.
For Medvedev this is the second time in a row in the quarterfinals in Melbourne and the sixth time in his career at the Grand Slam tournaments, when only in the US, last year, he managed to go all the way and swing the trophy.
Everyone is already waiting to see the Russian play against Rafael Nadal, but in the big eight he will meet Felix Uja Eliassim, ranked 9 who won the close match against the Croatian Marin Cilic (27) 6: 2, 6: 7, 2: 6, 6: 7.

For the first time in her successful career, France's Eliza Corne, ranked 61st in the world, qualified for the Grand Slam quarterfinals so her many emotions could be seen at the finish, which also brought her to tears.
Corna met a not-so-simple opponent at all, Romania Simona Halp, who was previously ranked first in the world and is now 14, and at the end of a game of many upheavals France won 4: 6, 6: 3, 4: 6.
The game lasted two hours and 33 minutes.
It's not over until it's over!

In the next stage, Korna will meet the American Daniel Rose Collins (27), who, although she lost the first set against the Belgian Alice Martens (19), but knew how to recover quickly to win 6: 4, 4: 6, 4: 6.
