Australian Open Defending champion Madison Keys advances to third round

(Melbourne) Defending champion Madison Keys beat Ashlyn Krueger 6-1, 7-5 in the second round of the Australian Open on Thursday.

Ninth seeded, Keys won the American duel in an hour and a quarter ahead of Krueger, 62^e in the world.

Keys erased a 5-2 deficit in the second set.

“I would say I started the match really well and Ashlyn was a little slower to get into the rhythm,” Keys said. I expected it to get tougher, and that’s what happened. »

Last year, Keys earned her first major title by beating Aryna Sabalenka in the final at Melbourne Park.

Sixth seed, American Jessica Pegula defeated her compatriot McCartney Kessler 6-0, 6-2, after dominating 6-1 in breaks.

Among the men, the Serbian Novak Djokovic, titled 10 times in Melbourne, will play against the Italian Francesco Maestrelli, 141^e in the world.
