Rybakina
Jovic qualified for the main draw of the Australian Open through a wild card exchange between the Australian Tennis Association and the United States Tennis Association, where she eliminated Dias in the first round. Rybakina defeated homegrown wild card Jones in the first round, the second straight round she faced a wild card. In this match, Rybakina won seven games in a row in the opening game, and in the second game of the second set, she wasted four break points, giving her opponent a chance to breathe, and Jovic broke consecutive breaks to stretch the score to 3-1. But in the end, Rybakina won five games in a row and swept her opponent 6-0/6-3 to advance.
In the third round, Rybakina will face 32nd seed Yastremska for a place in the round of 16. Jastrymska made it through qualifying at last year's Australian Open, beating the likes of Vondrousova, Emma Navarro, Azarenka and Noskova to reach the semi-finals, beating Kvinic 6-0, 6-1 in just 51 minutes in today's second round.
