Day 8 of the 2024 Australian Open will see players fighting it out for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Defending champions Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka will take to the court against Adrian Mannarino and Amanda Anisimova respectively. The Serb played his best match of the tournament so far to down Tomas Martin Etcheverry 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (2) in the previous round.
Sabalenka demolished Lesia Tsurenko 6-0, 6-0 and will need to bring the same intensity against Anisimova, as the former trails their rivalry 4-1. Last year's runner-up in Melbourne, Stefanos Tsitsipas, will face off against Taylor Fritz.
Coco Gauff, Alex de Minaur and Jannik Sinner are some of the other notable names in the fray on Saturday. On that note, here's a look at the schedule for Day 8 of the tournament:
