    Rod Laver Arena: World No. 2 Jannik Sinner, No. 9 Taylor Fritz, and Japanese star Naomi Osaka secured victories in their second-round matches on the fifth day of the Australian Open to storm into the third round of the first Grand Slam of the season.

    While Sinner defeated wild-card entrant James Duckworth 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 49 minutes at the Rod Laver Arena, Fritz beat the Czech Republic’s Vit Kopriva 6-1, 6-4, 7-6(4) in an hour and 58 minutes at the John Cain Arena in the night session.

    Osaka, who stunned her fans with a head-turning entry onto the court wearing a veil and carrying a white umbrella in her campaign opener, overcame Romania’s Sorana Cirstea in a close three-setter.
