MELBOURNE -- World No.2 Aryna Sabalenka continued her imposing march through the draw at the Australian Open after defeating Amanda Anisimova 6-3, 6-2 to advance to her third quarterfinal at Melbourne Park. 

It was another pitch-perfect performance from the defending champion, who struck 18 winners and went unbroken for the 70-minute match. 

"I'm super happy with the level," Sabalenka said on the court. "She's a super tough opponent and I'm so happy to see her back on tour."

Sabalenka, who is featured on Season 2 of Netflix's "Break Point," will face No.9 seed Barbora Krejcikova in the quarterfinals. 

The numbers behind Sabalenka's outstanding Melbourne campaign so far:

11: Number of games conceded by Sabalenka so far in Melbourne. That is a stingy average of 2.2 games per match. It is the fewest number of games lost en route to the quarterfinals since 2013. That year, Maria Sharapova lost five and Serena Williams lost eight. 

"I would say that I thought I will feel differently after winning Grand Slam," Sabalenka said. "It's no different. You still feel the same. You still have to bring your best tennis. You still have to fight for it. It's exactly the same feelings like I had one year ago."

6: Consecutive Slam quarterfinals for Sabalenka. She is the youngest player to run such a streak since Amelie Mauresmo. She has not lost before the semifinal stage at a major since 2022 Roland Garros.

"About Barbora, we played a lot of matches," Sabalenka said. "She plays really well. I think she's coming back after injuries, so also super motivated. Always tough battle."

2: Number of players in WTA history to win their first seven Grand Slam quarterfinals: Chris Evert and Aryna Sabalenka.
