Dominika Cibulkova reproduced the kind of tennis that helped her reach the final last year as she beat two-time champion Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in the fourth round of the Australian Open. Under the closed roof at Rod Laver Arena, Cibulkova pounded 44 winners, including a dozen on her backhand side, and broke former No. 1-ranked Azarenka's serve seven times Monday to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the sixth time. The No. 10-ranked Cibulkova, who lost the final here last year to the now-retired Li Na, next faces either top-ranked Serena Williams or Garbine Muguruza. She opened the tournament with a win over 2013 semifinalist Sloane Stephens and then defeated No. 8-seeded Caroline Wozniacki - the U.S. Open finalist last year and former No. 1 - and No. 25 Barbora Zahlavov Stryova.
