With ease, the world number two advanced to the Australian Open’s third round
The current world No. 2, Aryna Sabalenka, who competes without representing a specific country, has successfully advanced to the third round of the Australian Open.
In her second-round match, Sabalenka faced 16-year-old Czech tennis player Brenda Fruhvirtova and dominated the game, allowing her opponent to win only one game across two sets. Sabalenka secured the first set with a score of 6:3 and continued her strong performance in the second set with a convincing 6:2 victory.
Moving forward to the third round, Sabalenka is set to play against the winner of the match between Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko and Spaniard Rebeka Masarova.
It’s important to highlight that Sabalenka is the defending champion of the Australian Open.
Additionally, in a surprising turn of events during the second round of the tournament, the sixth-ranked player in the world, Ons Jabeur, unexpectedly exited, losing to a 16-year-old athlete.
