 Arena Sabalenka vs Dona Vekic is the fourth quarter final for the Australian Open for the ladies for 2023. And both ladies have been impressive to get to this stage. Vekic started the tournament off unseated and would take on the qualifier, select Mateva in the first round. And after splitting the first two sets and multiple rain delays, Vekic would get through in a super tie break 6-2, 2-6, 7-6. In the second round she'd take on the number 18 seed, Samson Over, which was a super impressive performance and with a big performance got through in straights 6-3, 6-love. In the third round she'd take on Diaz, who had beaten Haddad Mayer along the way. And again, very impressive from Vekic, winning in straights sets 6-2, 6-2. In the fourth round she'd take on the youngster, Frouver Tova. And after losing the second set she would come back to winning three, 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 to advance to the quarter finals. Sabalenka started the tournament off as the number five seed and would take on Martin Chauva in the first round. And this was no problem for Sabalenka, winning in straights sets 6-1, 6-4. In the second round she'd take on the boogie woman, Shelby Rogers, who had beaten big names at Slams before. But again, no problem for Sabalenka, getting through in straights sets 6-3, 6-1. In the third round she'd take on former doubles partner in number 26 seed, Elise Mertens. And again, Sabalenka super impressive, getting through in straights 6-2, 6-3. In the fourth round she'd take on her toughest opponent yet, the number 12 seed, Linda Benchich, who was in great form to start the year. And after a very close first set, Sabalenka got through in straights again, winning 7-5, 6-2 to advance to the quarter finals of Australia. These two have played six times before, with Vekic leading the head to head 5-1, which is crazy to think because Sabalenka, for the most part of their career, has been the higher ranked player. And they haven't played since San Diego last year, where it was a three setter and it went the way of Vekic. If Vekic is going to win this one, she needs to move Sabalenka around. Sabalenka's been so aggressive at the moment in this tournament and this year in general, and she needs to get the first set. Because if she can get the first set and get inside Sabalenka's head, then maybe she can get through. Sabalenka's going to win this one. She needs to make sure she's aggressive from the start and probably needs the first set as well. Because if she gets the first set, she's been on a roll in the second set. She's been running away with matches ever since the start of the year. So if she's going to do that, she needs to be aggressive and obviously serve well. This is a very fun matchup because you've got a player who's in great form and a player who's on the comeback, but then also someone who's got a very good record against a better ranked player. But I'm going to go with Sabalenka in 3. I think this is just her tournament. I feel like she's playing so well right now and with so many things happening around her, with big names falling, I feel like she's going to get through and win this one in 3. But let me know down in the comments below, who do you think is going to win this match?
