00:53And a hold to love.
00:55Yes, that's unbelievable.
01:00Just brilliant, Potipova.
01:01And also take a little bit more time in between the points because the momentum...
01:11Listen to the roar from Arena Sabalenka.
01:12Seven.

01:45But that's a good way to get off the mark.
02:09She was a sitting duck. Potapova and Sabalenka takes her shot.
02:23It does not have to be that close.
02:25But that is the Sabalenka way, isn't it?
02:28It's all fireworks and excitement.
02:39That was brave. That was not easy.
02:53Even what has just been happening the last couple of minutes.
02:57What a remarkable fight back from Anastasia Potapova.
03:13Four left down.
03:17Not up.
03:23Just the lightest of touches and Sabalenka seizes back the steering wheel.
03:28Delightful.
03:41And Potapova for the first time this set.
03:51Potapova leads six games to five. Second set is out in front.
03:556-5. Sabalenka has to serve to stay in this set.
04:01Again Sabalenka.
04:03With an ace we go to a second set tie break.
04:09First of the three set points saved by Sabalenka.
04:29Another brute of a rally.
04:33And the points for Potapova become match points for Sabalenka.
04:518-7 Sabalenka.
04:53There it is.
05:03For the sixth year on the bout, Sarina Sabalenka has muscled her way into the last 16 here in Australia.
05:13And Mayer was tight.
05:15And Mayer was brilliant to watch.
05:19Two tie breaks to decide.
05:23And it was Sabalenka who found her way through in the end.
05:29In the end.
05:35That was a stressful watch.
