In the fourth round, Barty will face Amanda Anisimova from the United States, who caused a big upset earlier today. Amanda beat the defending champion, Naomi Osaka, in an outstanding match. Amanda won the match by 4-6, 6-3, 7-6, where she played a superb tie-break in the third set to win the match.
The upset won’t change Barty’s game plan though, as she looks ready to face anyone in the draw. Amanda is still unbeaten in 2022, so is Barty. One thing is for sure, the fourth-round match on Sunday will be a cracker of a match and one player will lose her unbeaten streak.
