MELBOURNE, Australia – Can Victoria Mboko topple the world No. 1 and make it to the quarterfinals of a major for the first time?

A tall order. The young lady has been ballin’ this week. But it was just too tall.

Also look out for Coco Gauff v Karolina Muchova. Which was better than their recent meetings, but with the same outcome.
