MELBOURNE, Australia – Only 10 of the 16 seeds in this half of the women’s draw made it.

Notably, that included Canadian Victoria Mboko, who was up against the hard-hitting – and higher ranked – Clara Tauson of Denmark and posted an impressive win.

And Mboko’s fellow teen queen (and doubles partner) Iva Jovic was also up on John Cain Arena looking for a fourth-round spot against Jasmine Paolini. And she got there, too.

As did Mirra Andreeva. Teens representing.
