Australian Open 2019
Venue: Melbourne Park
Dates: Jan 14-27
Home favourite Ashleigh Barty won nine games in a row to inspire a comeback against Maria Sharapova and book her place in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
Having lost the first set, Barty broke twice in the second and went on to win 4-6 6-1 6-4 to reach the last eight of a Grand Slam for the first time.
"This is unreal," the 15th seed told a packed crowd on the Rod Laver Arena. She will face eighth seed Petra Kvitova, who beat Amanda Anisimova.
World number six Kvitova comfortably won 6-2 6-1 against the American 17-year-old on Rod Laver Arena.
The Czech two-time Grand Slam champion has reached the last eight on two other occasions but has never won the title in Melbourne.
