The world number one brushed past Mirra Andreeva and into the Australian Open quarter-finals Sunday, pulling out an instant camera to commemorate the moment by taking pictures of fans, as she has throughout the first week.

She said it was part of a project with boyfriend Georgios Frangulis, a superfood entrepreneur.

"We actually came up... with an idea that throughout the year we'd collect polaroid pictures and we are going to frame them," she said.

"I hope we have a lot of cool moments this year to collect and we are going to have a cool little piece of art on the wall in the house."

"I started from the pre-season," added the defending Australian Open champion.

"It's so cute to see these little moments."
