The Australian world number one has become a master at luring rivals into hitting shots too testing to make, says David Witt, a long-time hitting partner of Venus Williams and now coach of Jessica Pegula, who plays Barty in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.

"It's not always trying to hit it as hard as I can. Rarely am I redlining, hitting a serve as hard as I can," she said. In her two most recent outings on Rod Laver Arena, Barty has been able to draw errors from Amanda Anisimova and Camila Giorgi on critical points to progress. The gap was less pronounced in her opening two wins against Lesia Tsurenko and Lucia Bronzetti, but that was in part due to the Australian's dominance in those matches.
