Australian Open ’24 – day 8
Melbourne R1 – In the first two ladies matches of the day two youngsters shine against two experienced top players. Wozniacki, coming back from retirement, looks better than the other campaigner. Wow! Andreeva ousts Jabeur by 60 62. Watched the second set. Ons tried to give her best, the other one, the 16-y-o one, just played in another league today. Watch out for that player, Mirra Andreeva!! The other youngster, Timofeeva, had a little bit more work to do, yet such a clear win against a former #1, 16 64 61. These two matches were played under a closed roof, the other players have to be patient until the water stops falling from the Aussie sky.
Laura Siegemund gets hunted down by Aussie Storm Hunter, 46 63 36. Tamara Korpatsch out to who already reached #2 in February ’22 (currently ranked #10), Barbora Krejcikova, 26 26.
Frech def Garcia by 64 762. Avanesyan def Sakkari by 64 64. Kostyuk def Mertens by 57 61 710 66.
