In the 2nd round of the Australian Open for juniors, Michaela Laki qualified after her impressive debut in Saturday’s event.
Our 16-year-old master prevailed 7-6(3), 6-0 of Switzerland, Chelsea Fontainebleau and passed the “32” of the first major of the year, in her first participation in Melbourne.
Laki was twice down by a break in the opening set but was able to react immediately and take the lead thanks to a very stable tie break.
In the second set, the Tyrnavitissa tennis player was imposing and didn’t let her opponent threaten her, completing her victory in 1 hour and 13 minutes on Court 14 at Melbourne Park.
Laki, No. 6 on the board and No. 11 in the junior world rankings, is waiting in the 2nd round for the winner of the match between Brit Steiber and Moroccan El Awi.
