No. 5 Sabalenka moves into 3rd round at the Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Aryna Sabalenka improved her winning streak to six as she beat American Shelby Rogers 6-3, 6-1 to reach the third round of the Australian Open. The No. 5-seeded Sabalenka, who began the year by winning the title in Adelaide, trailed the American 3-1 early in the match but won five straight games to take the opening set and then eased through the second. Sabalenka will play either Elise Mertens, the No. 26-seeded player, or Lauren Davis in the third round.
