Eugenie Bouchard was spared any more controversial questions after booking her place in the fourth round of the Australian Open on Friday.
The Wimbledon runner-up's previous win in Melbourne was followed by accusations of sexism being levelled at Tennis Australia commentator Ian Cohen, who asked the world number seven to "give a twirl" to show off her outfit in an on-court interview.
Serena Williams had also been asked to do the same and 12-time grand slam singles winner Billie-Jean King wrote on Twitter: "The Australian Open interviewer asking the women to 'twirl' on court is out of line.
"This is truly sexist. If you ask the women, you have to ask the guys to twirl as well."
Tennis Australia did not immediately respond to requests from Press Association Sport to comment on Cohen's questions, but it was former Australian doubles specialist Todd Woodbridge who interviewed Bouchard following the 20-year-old Canadian's 7-5 6-0 win over France's Caroline Garcia.
Woodbridge stuck strictly to tennis questions, asking Bouchard about the match, returning to Melbourne after reaching the semi-finals last year and her potential opponent in the last 16.
Bouchard had looked slightly bemused by the request to "give a twirl" following her second-round win over Kiki Bertens, admitting in her post-match press conference the question had taken her by surprise.
"It was very unexpected. I mean, yeah, I don't know. An old guy asking you to twirl, it was funny," she said.
Bouchard will face Irina-Camelia Begu next after the 24-year-old Romanian beat Germany's Carina Witthoeft 6-4 6-4 to reach the fourth round in a grand slam for the first time.
Maria Sharapova needed just 61 minutes to thrash 31st seed Zarina Diyas 6-1 6-1 and reach the last 16.
"I think I rebounded really well," the second seed said. "I had a good hit yesterday, just kind of thought a little bit about what I wanted to try to achieve tonight no matter who I played.
"Of course I focused a little bit on myself more than anything else; just tried to be a bit more aggressive, concentrate. I thought I did a good job of focusing well.
"She can be a tough, tough player to play against if you give her the time to change down the line like she likes to do, step down and hit flat, low. She has that capability and if you give her the time, she'll do it."
Sharapova will face China's Shuai Peng in the fourth round and remains on course to come up against seventh seed Bouchard in the quarter-finals.
Third seed Simona Halep will take on Yanina Wickmayer after the Belgian beat 14th seed Sara Errani 4-6 6-4 6-3, with 10th seed Ekaterina Makarova up against Germany's Julia Goerges, who beat Lucie Hradecka 7-6 (8-6) 7-5.
Halep, who reached the quarter-finals here last year and lost to Sharapova in the French Open final, defeated American Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-4 7-5 and said: "I'm okay with my game. I played well today, better than the second round, so this is good.
"Yanina has beat me every time when I played her, but the next round will be a new day. I have my chance to win it. But I expect a very tough match. She's very tall and she's very strong. So I have to wait and to prepare myself to be ready before the match."
