Venue: Melbourne Park Dates: 17-30 January
Coverage: Watch on BBC TV, Red Button, BBC Sport website (UK only) & Eurosport; listen on BBC 5 live sports extra and online; text commentary online; full details
Petra Kvitova fought back to beat Flavia Pennetta 3-6 6-3 6-3 and secure an Australian Open quarter-final spot.
The world number 25, who defeated Sam Stosur in round three, struggled with her serve to lose the first set but steadied her game to level the match.
Pennetta, Italy's 22nd seed, was broken to trail 4-2 in the decider as Kvitova piled on the pressure to ease through.
Kvitova will face world number two Vera Zvonareva or Iveta Benesova who play later on Monday on Hisense Arena.
Zvonareva, a semi-finalist at the Australian Open in 2009, has been in patchy form in Melbourne during the opening three rounds and last year's runner-up at Wimbledon and US Open will want to exert her authority against the unseeded Czech.
US Open champion Kim Clijsters will face Russia's Ekaterina Makarova in the evening session from 0800 GMT.
