In the women’s draw, world number one Ashleigh Barty is hoping to give Australia a first home women’s champion at the tournament since 1978.
She will face American Jessica Pegula, who has never reached the semi-finals of a tournament and is the 21st seed, in the last eight.
Madison Keys, a former US Open runner-up, will clash with French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova in what could be an interesting battle.
