Stan Wawrinka brought up his 400th tour-level win at the Australian Open on Saturday to set up a clash with Milos Raonic
Melbourne: Third seed Garbine Muguruza crashed out of the Australian Open on Saturday against Barbora Strycova, becoming the latest top-10 player to fall and putting her dream of a maiden Grand Slam title on hold.
The Spanish star was outplayed 6-3, 6-2 in 76 minutes, with her error-strewn game allowing the Czech veteran to reach the fourth round for the first time in nine attempts.

It was a remarkable upset by Strycova, who had only gone beyond the third round once in 38 previous Grand Slam appearances — at Wimbledon in 2014, where she made the quarter-finals.
