The second round of Australian Open 2020 is underway in Melbourne as international players compete for the first Grand Slam Trophy of the year.

The complete results are at end of the main happenings of the days.

Fifteen-year-old American Tennis prodigy Coco Gauff dominated the headlines on the third day of Australian Open as well. She downed Romania’s Sorana Cîrstea 4-6,6-3,7-5 in a fierce battle during the second round.


Gauf will be facing third-seeded Japan’s Naomi Osaka in the third round in what is promised to be a blockbuster thriller. The Defending Champion Osaka beat China’s Zheng Saisai 6-2, 6-4 on Wednesday to move forward.


Meanwhile in men’s singles competition, Serbia’s Novak Djokovic stepped over wild card entry Japan’s Tatsuma Ito 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in an easy contest where the main opponent was the heavy winds following Monday’s rain in the area.


Greece’s Stefanos Tsitsipas proceeded to the third round without playing a single shot after his opponent Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew on account of a knee injury that occurred during a practice match.


Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki, playing her final tournament before retiring, lived to fight again as she came from behind in both sets for a 7-5, 7-5 win over Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine.


And Australia’s world number one Ashleigh Barty raced through 6-1, 6-4 against Polona Hercog, buoying hopes of a first home winner since 1978.
