Melbourne champion Keys exits as Sinner bids to avoid same fateListen to this articleJessica Pegula celebrates victory against Madison KeysMELBOURNE - Jessica Pegula sent reigning champion and podcast co-host Madison Keys spinning out of the Australian Open on Monday in straight sets while Jannik Sinner will hope to avoid the same fate and reach the quarter-finals. The 28-year-old was given free passage into the last 16 when two-time Melbourne champion Naomi Osaka pulled out injured. Reigning champion Sinner, seeded two, will similarly be strong favourite against fellow Italian Luciano Darderi. Melbourne Park king Djokovic was supposed to play the 20-year-old Jakub Mensik in a night match. But the Czech player pulled out injured on Sunday, sending 10-time champion Djokovic into the last eight without hitting a ball.
