Katie Volnyets, a 21-year-old qualifier from Walnut Creek, stunned No. 9-seeded Veronika Kudermetova to advance to the third round of the Australian Open.
Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka improved her winning streak to six as she beat American Shelby Rogers 6-3, 6-1.
The No. 5-seeded Sabalenka, who began the year by winning the title in Adelaide, trailed the American 3-1 early in the match but won five straight games to take the opening set and then eased through the second. "I expected a great level from her today, that's why I stayed focused from the beginning to the end," Sabalenka said.
Sabalenka will play either Elise Mertens, the No. 26-seeded player, or Lauren Davis in the third round.On the men's side, No 25-seeded Dan Evans was an early winner, beating Jeremy Chardy of France 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 to reach the third round for the third successive year. The news on the men's side still oscillated around the absence of Rafael Nadal, who was beaten on Wednesday after losing a battle with an injured hip.© 2023 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
