MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka has made it back to the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park for the first time since 2016 by coming back to beat Zhu Lin 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. The match began late Sunday night and ended at nearly 2:20 a.m. on Monday. The third set began with six consecutive breaks of serve, before Zhu finally was the first to hold, taking a 4-3 lead. But the 24th-seeded Azarenka took the final three games. Azarenka won the title in Melbourne in 2012 and 2013. She will face No. 3 seed Jessica Pegula in the quarterfinals.
