Aryna Sabalenka said she was "emotionally all over the place" as she was forced to dig deep to reach the last 16 on Friday at the Australian Open, where Carlos Alcaraz will resume his quest for a maiden Melbourne title.
Also in action on day six at Melbourne Park are third seeds Coco Gauff and Alexander Zverev, and former runner-up Daniil Medvedev.
