Top seeds Karolina Muchova (a wild card), Elina Svitolina and Ekaterina Alexandrova swung into action on this Thursday, after getting first-round byes.

Muchova, in particular, got the short end of the Australian Open stick as she ended up having to face Naomi Osaka (unseeded) in the second round of singles, before Osaka’s back took her out.

Alexandrova didn’t get much luck,either; she drew Emma Raducanu in the first round, and went out in two tiebreaks.

Both will be looking to kickstart their 2025s.
