Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka shone in the first match with a clear 6: 3, 6: 2 round against the American Sloane Stephens and ended the game in just 71 minutes. "It was probably not my best tennis, but I am happy that I will continue in two sets," commented the world ranking first after her impressive victory. The Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro awaits you in the second round. Sabalenka could be the first player since Martina Hingis to win this tournament three times in a row, as krone.at reports.
strong appearance by Alexander Zverev
The German hope of Alexander Zverev, set as number two, also started the tournament without any problems. Zverev confidently beat Lucas Pouille 6: 4, 6: 4, 6: 4 and showed a strong service with a total of 18 aces. Now he faces another Spaniard, Pedro Martinez in the second round, while he continues to chase his first Grand Slam title, reports srf.ch.
Another excitement of the first round was the historical victory of the Lebanese Hady Habib, who was able to celebrate the first victory of a Lebanese at a Grand Slam tournament with his success over Yunchhaoket BU. However, the clouds over Melbourne also brought a thunderstorm that interrupted some games on the outer spaces. While tennis could continue to be played in the large places, the players and fans had to look for protection under the tents. So this year's Australian Open started with excitement and a mixture of bright tennis and unpredictable weather.
