Ukrainian tennis player Dayana Yastremska has advanced to the third round of the Australian Open-2024, currently taking place in Melbourne. Our compatriot easily defeated Varvara Gracheva, a native of Moscow who has been competing under the French flag since last year.

It took the 23-year-old from Odesa 67 minutes and two sets to defeat her peer, 6-3, 6-2. During this time, Yastremska made five service aces, won 22 active rallies, and converted three of four breakpoints. Dayana recorded one double fault and 17 unforced errors.
