@1:30 PM – Ash Barty [AUS] vs Lesia Tsurenko [UKR] (Rod Laver Arena)
Ash Barty opened her Aus Open campaign on a high note. She beat Qualifier Lesia Tsurenko 6-0, 6-1 in just 54 minutes to enter round 2. The Ukrainian was no match for home favourite Barty chasing her maiden Australian Open title.
The home hero has been in rollicking form this season, capturing the Adelaide International title in the leadup, and carried it into her twilight match against the hapless Tsurenko at Rod Laver Arena.
Barty squandered two match points that would have handed Tsurenko the dreaded double-bagel and another two as she served for the match, but the Australian finally sealed it with a booming serve down the ‘T’.
Barty will play Italian qualifier Lucia Bronzetti for a place in the third round.
Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini & teen sensation Coco Gauff will kick start his Australian Open journey against Nakashima & Wang at Margaret Court Arena. World No.3 Alexander Zverev will play against Altmaier while recently-crowned Sydney Classic Tennis champion Barbora Krejcikova will play Petkovic at Kia Arena.
