Sobeys Stadium will be rocking on Sunday as the last quarter-final spots are up for grabs.
Both sessions boast incredible lineups. The day will see two of the best players of the 2020s in action, while the night will feature two young lefties who tend to shine under the lights.
Follow the live results:
CENTRE COURT – Starts at 12:30 PM[2] Elena Rybakina (KAZ) d. Liudmila Samsonova 6-4, 4-6, 6-4Considering the elite serves possessed by the two women leading off Centre Court, the first set did not go the way many would have expected. Six of the first eight games were breaks and yet not of them were decisive. The seventh and final break of a bizarre first set went the way of Rybakina as Samsonova served to stay in it. The second set was more as expected, with just a single break making the difference. Rybakina had two looks to seize control at 2-2 but could not convert and proceeded to be broken in the following game. Unlike the first set when she was broken four times, Samsonova clung on to her delivery the rest of the way to level the match. She then raced out of the gate in the decider, breaking Rybakina twice on her way to a 3-0 lead. However, she failed to consolidate the second break which gave the Australian Open champion a spark. Rybakina dug in and won six of the next seven games, holding break points in all of Samsonova’s service games and breaking three times, including to love to complete the comeback.

Erin Routliffe (NZL) / Aldila Sutjiadi (INA) 6-3, 7-5Mihalikova and Nicholls got off to a strong start, breaking in the opening game and defending their serve through the first set. They were not broken and capped off the opener with another break of their own. After saving a couple of break points midway through the second, the Slovakian-British pair converted their opportunity to go up 5-3 and serve for the match, but could not seal the deal. Still, they made a late push to get out of it before the breaker and succeeded by breaking Routliffe and Sutjiadi as they served to stay in it at 5-6.
