										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Melbourne |</strong> World number one Carlos Alcaraz continued his impressive run at the Australian Open by reaching the quarterfinals and equalling a long-standing record held by Swedish legend Bjorn Borg. With this victory, Alcaraz has now completed 100 wins in Grand Slam matches, becoming the youngest player to achieve the milestone since Borg.</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #008000;"><em>Alcaraz defeated France’s Ugo Humbert in straight sets, winning 6-2, 6-4, 6-1 in the third round. The Spanish star displayed complete control throughout the match and advanced comfortably to the quarterfinal stage. His record now stands at 87 wins and 13 losses in Grand Slam tournaments, marking the best start by any player after their first 100 major matches.</em></span></p></blockquote>

<p>In men’s singles action, second seed Daniil Medvedev was pushed hard but eventually prevailed after a marathon encounter lasting over four hours. Medvedev dropped the opening set before mounting a strong comeback to win the match in five sets, 6-7, 7-6, 7-5, 6-0, 6-3. This marked the fifth time Medvedev has reached the last eight at the Australian Open.</p>
<p>American player Taylor Fritz also progressed, defeating his opponent in four sets after a tightly contested match. Fritz’s steady baseline play and strong serve proved decisive in the latter stages.</p>

<p>In women’s singles, defending champion Aryna Sabalenka reached the last 16 for the fifth consecutive year at Melbourne Park. The Belarusian star defeated Amanda Anisimova 7-6, 7-6 in a tense contest. Sabalenka showed remarkable composure in both tie-breaks to seal her place in the pre-quarterfinals.</p>
<p>Earlier, Sabalenka had beaten Czech player Barbora Krejcikova in straight sets. She remains one of the strongest contenders for the title, having won 18 of her last 19 matches at the Australian Open.</p>
<p>Teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva also caused a major upset by defeating seventh seed Jessica Pegula. The 18-year-old Russian came back from a set down to register a memorable victory, showcasing her growing confidence on the big stage.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While not being immunized against COVID-19, Novak Djokovic will be permitted to defend his Wimbledon championship since the injections are not necessary to enter Britain, according to All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton. Djokovic, a 34-year-old Serb who is ranked No. 1 in the world, skipped the Australian Open in January after being deported because he was not vaccinated against the coronavirus, which has killed millions of people since the epidemic began in 2020.</p>
<p>&#8220;Whilst, of course, it is advised&#8221; that all players be vaccinated, it will not be a requirement of the entrance to compete at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament this year&#8221;, Bolton said during the annual spring conference before Wimbledon, which begins on June 27.</p>
