Tennis player Dayana Yastremska lost in the third round of the Australian Open against a representative from Kazakhstan.
Both players competed in two sets, and in each, Elena Rybakina proved to be the stronger competitor.
In the first set, the Kazakh athlete did not concede a single game on her serve, while taking one from her opponent's serve in return.
The second set was more intriguing, as the girls exchanged breaks at the start, and in the fifth game, Rybakina broke Yastremska's serve again. With the score at 5:3, they played a very long game during which Elena failed to convert five match points.
Although the Ukrainian managed to win that game on her serve, the match ended in the next one, as Rybakina converted her match point on the second attempt.
