The player standing in the way of Ash Barty's dream of winning her first ever Australian Open is an Italian fashion model with a reputation as a giant-killer on the court.
Barty's next opponent is world number 33 Camila Giorgi, who is better known for her many fashion shoots than her tennis by many armchair fans.
Giorgi, 30, gets a lot of attention as the brand ambassador for her mother Claudia's fashion label Giomila, where she posts glamorous portraits to her 527,000 Instagram followers.
But if Barty takes Giorgi lightly in their match on Friday, she could easily go out in a shock upset.
