- French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova beats Wang Xiyu
- Naomi Osaka continues comeback with win over Brengle
As the sunlight slowly began to fade on Wednesday in Melbourne Park, two of the top women’s players were holding fort on two most prominent courts across the grounds. On Rod Laver Arena, the night session was all but filled to its capped attendance as the crowd watched Naomi Osaka continue her comeback with a 6-0, 6-4 win over the USA’s Madison Brengle.
But next door, only a smattering of fans had hung around for the end of the day session on Margaret Court Arena to watch as Barbora Krejcikova, the fourth seed, picked apart Wang Xiyu of China 6-2, 6-3 to move on to the third round.
