Australian Open 2024: Aryna Sabalenka Enters Third Round With Yet Another Authoritive Performance, Defeats Brenda Fruhvirtova 6-3, 6-2
Defending champion Aryana Sabalenka looks unstoppable in the Grand Slam this season, as she storms into the third round of the tournament losing just six games so far. Sabalenka wins the second round with a 6-3, 6-2 score-line.
16-year-old Czech International Brenda Fruhvirtova made it to the second round after winning a three-set encounter against Ana Bogdan. But she looked helpless against powerful hitting by defending champion Aryna Sabalenka, who now moves to the third round dropping just six games in the first two rounds. Brenda did manage to break Sabalenka's serve in the match, but it hardly affect World Number two. Sabalenka raced to the 2023 Australian Open Finals without dropping a set and looks on a similar route this term also.
