"It's Bai's second time playing in the second round here in Melbourne. Fashion notes: Sabalenka is in her BRIGHT orange, pink and black dress. Bai is in a classic (almost football jersey-esque) blue T-shirt, black shorts and white cap. Share On to the match at hand, and Sabalenka will be hoping for a smoother run than her first-round match in which French wildcard Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah provided a somewhat tricky start."
"Nikola Bartunkova defeated Kasatkina 7-6 (7), 0-6, 6-3 in a topsy-turvy contest. And Maddison Inglis who defeated Birrell 7-6 (6), 6-7 (9), 6-4 in an all-Australian clash that lasted three hours. But in exciting news, earlier Dane Sweeny and James Duckworth increased the count of Australian men in the second round to five. Duckworth outlasted the Croatian lucky loser Dino Prizmic in five sets by winning the last two."
Beautiful conditions prevailed at Rod Laver Arena with Aryna Sabalenka and Bai on court for a second-round match; Sabalenka wore a bright orange, pink and black dress while Bai wore a blue T-shirt, black shorts and white cap. Sabalenka is a two-time Australian Open champion (2023, 2024) and seeks a smoother match after a tricky first round. Madison Keys recovered to defeat Oleksandra Oliynykova, and Jannik Sinner progressed to the second round. Australia recorded multiple results: Nikola Bartunkova beat Daria Kasatkina, Maddison Inglis defeated Kimberly Birrell in three hours, and Australians Dane Sweeny and James Duckworth advanced, with Duckworth prevailing in five sets.
