Sabalenka dispatches Tauson to reach the last 16 of the Australian Open

Aryna Sabalenka faced Clara Tauson in the third round of the Australian Open on Friday.

She won in 2 hours 08 minutes, 7-6, 6-4. She has won 30 of her last 31 Grand Slam matches played on hard court.

A statistic which shows that Sabalenka will be a tough nut to crack this fortnight.

At the end of the match, she did a little dance to entertain the audience, adding: "Now you have proof that I'm the worst dancer."

In the last 16, she faces Mirra Andreeva, who beat Magdalena Frech in three sets.
