Sharma takes down sixth seed in Palermo | 16 July, 2024 | All Information | Information and Options | Information and Occasions

Palermo, Italy

Astra Sharma has opened her Palermo marketing campaign with an upset of sixth seed Anna Blinkova on Monday.

The world No.151’s 6-0 7-5 victory on the WTA 250 clay-court occasion marked her first over a high 100 opponent since she downed then 39^th-ranked Lesia Tsurenko en path to the third spherical in Charleston in April.

The 91-minute end result snapped a four-match shedding streak, which started along with her final-round qualifying defeat to Olga Danilovic at Roland Garros.

Sharma awaits the winner of fellow Australian Ajla Tomljanovic and Mayar Sherif within the second spherical.

Newport, United States

Aleksandar Vukic has brushed previous Hong Kong’s Coleman Wong to achieve the second spherical on grass in Newport.

The sixth seed wanted simply 68 minutes to defeat the world No.179, 6-1 6-2, for a gathering with both fellow Australian Li Tu or wild card Eliot Spizzirri.

Tu was considered one of three Australians who certified on Monday alongside Marc Polmans and Alex Bolt.

Polmans denied compatriot Tristan Schoolkate for his place in the primary draw.
