\nMELBOURNE:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Barbora Krejcikova ended the dream run of 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva on Sunday to set up an Australian Open quarter-final against defending champion Aryna Sabalenka.<\/p>\n

Andreeva hammered sixth seed Ons Jabeur in the second round and then had to save a match point against Diane Parry in round three.<\/p>\n

But she ran out of road in her last-16 tie on John Cain Arena against her Czech opponent, who lost the first set for the third time at the tournament before coming through 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.<\/p>\n

“I’m fighting,” said Krejcikova, who had lost her previous two matches against the young Russian.<\/p>\n

“I’m just trying to give my best and go for every single ball.<\/p>\n

“I think I was really improving with every single ball and I was going for it point by point.”<\/p>\n

Both players struggled to hold serve in the opening set but Andreeva made the crucial break in the ninth game and served out to love.<\/p>\n

The players swapped breaks early in the second set but Krejcikova broke again in the sixth game, going on to level the match.<\/p>\n

The Czech player, 28, was again on top early in the deciding set and she broke again for a 5-2 lead, serving out comfortably to reach her second Australian Open quarter-final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
