The sixth match ball was then used by Caroline Wozniacki to raise her arms in the Melbourne afternoon sky. Before that, Dayana Yastremska had equalized every chance of the Dane with some spectacular balls. The young Ukrainian, who is trained by Sascha Bajin, made too many mistakes on the other hand - and ultimately lost 5: 7 and 5: 7. The prospects for Wozniacki to go one more round at their last tournament are not bad now: the former number one in the world meets Ons Jabeur.
There was no drama for world number one Ashleigh Barty . The local hero, who had to go through three sets against Lesia Tsurenko in round one, had few problems in the 6-1 and 6-4 against Polona Hercog. Barty, who won a tournament in her home country for the first time last week in Adelaide, will face either Greetje Minnen or Elena Rybakina in round three.
The last two finalists are also further: defending champion Naomi Osaka won against Sasai Zheng 6: 2 and 6: 4, Petra Kvitova defeated Paula Badosa with 7: 5 and 7: 5. Osaka meets Cori Gauff in round three. The 15-year-old American won just three sets against Sorana Cirstea.
