Rybakina defeats Jovic for her 50th Grand Slam victory

Elena Rybakina won her second-round match at the Australian Open on Thursday against Iva Jovic, who had been granted a wild card by the American tennis federation.

She won 6-0, 6-3. This is her 50th Grand Slam victory.

In the post-match interview, she was asked about her serve and her coach, Goran Ivanisevic, one of the best servers in the history of men's tennis.

She said: "If I can improve my serve, that's even better. I need to work on my serve, especially when it's windy, it's not easy.

It's still possible to make improvements, I think today my serve didn't work very well."

She faces Dayana Yastremska in the third round.
