Australian Open 2018: 15 year-old reaches third round

By Daily Sports on January 17, 2018

Marta Kostyuk, 15, became the youngest player to reach the third round of a Grand Slam since 1997 after beating Olivia Rogowska at the Australian Open.

The world number 521 won 6-3 7-5 and plays fourth seed and fellow Ukranian Elina Svitolina in the last 32.

Kostyuk is the youngest player to reach that stage at a Slam since Mirjana Lucic-Baroni in the 1997 US Open.

She is the youngest in the last 32 at Melbourne since Martina Hingis in 1996.

Kostyuk, the 2017 Australian Open girls' champion, said: "I felt so bad on the court - it was hot - but I made it through."

Opening play on the main Rod Laver Arena, Svitolina had to come from behind to beat Czech Katerina Siniakova 4-6 6-2 6-1. (BBC)
