    Top seeds Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka surged to contrasting wins in the third round, while former finalist Daniil Medvedev dug deep to keep his Australian Open title hopes alive at the tennis courts of Melbourne Park on Friday.

    Third round action started on Day Six with Sabalenka surviving a scare to beat Anastasia Potapova 7-6 (4), 7-6 (7) in just over two hours in Melbourne. The 27-year-old has reached the second week in Melbourne for the sixth straight year. "She played incredible tennis. I was able to still fight for every point, and I'm super happy to get this win," said Sabalenka, who will next play 19-year-old Canadian Victoria Mboko.
