Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, seeded No. 1, reached the third round of the Australian Open by winning two sets to zero (6-3, 7-5) against Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro on Wednesday in program opens at Rod Laver Arena.
Bouzas Maneiro led 5-2 in the third and served for the entire set at 5-3 in his favor, finding himself three points tied against the world number. But Sabalenka played five matches together to qualify without wasted effort. She no longer lost a set in two rounds after dismissing the American Sloane Stephens (6-3, 6-2).
WTA number one Sabalenka will face Denmark’s Clara Tauson in the third round of the Australian Grand Slam.
