Aryna Sabalenko defeated Lesya Tsurenko 6-0, 6-0 in the third round of the Australian Open 2024

The reigning champion and second favorite in Melbourne, Arina was able to impose her offensive tactical plan with great success. He served very strongly (as always), dictated the rhythm from the main line and morally subjugated the opponent point by point.

As a result, the match lasted only 52 minutes, and Tsurenko left the court without winning a single game.

There was no handshake at the end, as Ukrainian football players, as you know, do not greet the Belarusian athlete Sabalenko after the start of the war in Ukraine.
