Dabrowski/Kontinen and Krejcikova/Mektic through to mixed doubles semi-finals at Australian Open

It will see third seeds take on fifth seeds after their respective wins on Wednesday evening in Melbourne.

Dabrowski is of course a former winner in Melbourne teaming with Mate Pavic in 2018; while Kontinen has won mixed doubles Grand Slam titles before as well as in the men's doubles at the Australian Open.

They defeated sixth seeds Ivan Dodig and Latisha Chan; in a tight tussle 7-5, 7-6 (7-2) to move through.

One half of their opponents in the next round though already has a win over Dabrowski in Melbourne and that is Krejicikova in the Women's Doubles; who ended the run of the Canadian and Jelena Ostapenko in the Quarter-Finals.

Her and partner, Mektic defeated the team of Nadiia Kichenok and Rohan Bopanna; with ease 6-0, 6-2 and will hope to take that form into their next tie.
