Three-time major winner Iga Świątek will have to wait another year before she gets the chance to add the Australian Open title to her collection, after falling to Elena Rybakina in straight sets.

Wimbledon champion Rybakina, seeded 25 at Melbourne Park, won 6-4, 6-4 to move through to the quarterfinals.

The Russian-born Kazakh will play either Coco Gauff or Jeļena Ostapenko in the last eight.

More to come.
