Coco Gauff delivered a dominant 6-2, 6-2 win over Olga Danilovic in just 77 minutes. Aryna Sabalenka was even quicker, overpowering Bai Zhuoxuan 6-3, 6-1 in 72 minutes. Both top seeds advanced efficiently, with Gauff calling her performance "near perfect" after a much cleaner display than her opening match.

The top 10 women's seeds all remain in the draw on day four in Melbourne. Gauff, the French Open champion, now faces American Hailey Baptiste. Sabalenka, a two-time Australian Open winner, will meet Anastasia Potapova, who defeated Emma Raducanu. Sabalenka's win extends her remarkable record of 45 of her last 50 sets at Melbourne Park.

For Gauff, this was a vital rebound after her first-round struggles. For Sabalenka, it's another step in her undefeated start to 2026. With the draw tightening, their efficient victories send a clear message to the rest of the field as the tournament progresses.
