Canberra, January 20 (Xinhua) -- Russian double stars Medvedev and Rublev both advanced to the men's singles round of 32 at the Australian Open on the 20th, and the new US Open women's singles champion Radukanu stopped in the second round and failed to continue to write brilliantly at the Grand Slam tournament at the beginning of this year.

No. 5 seed Rublev beat world No. 93 Berankis in straight sets to continue his unbeaten run for the new season while reaching the round of 32 of the Australian Open for the third consecutive year.

In addition, the No. 4 seed, Greece's Tsitsitsipas, fought hard for nearly three and a half hours, and after two major battles of the seventh, he eliminated Argentina's 21-year-old rising star Baez with a total score of 3:1, and advanced to the australian Open round of 32 for the fourth consecutive year, when it will face The French veteran Pelle.
In the women's singles, British rising star and 17th seed Raducannu lost to world no. 98 Kovinic 4:6, 6:4, 3:6, stopping the second round. The latter will face 14th seed Halep in the next round.
Although China's Jinhua Wang Xinyu lost that day, she also had a good performance. Although the "post-00s" youngster is only ranked 100th in the world, he is not afraid of the court in Melbourne Park Centre Court, and once saw the hope of winning the game, and finally lost to the world's second-ranked Sabalenka 6:1, 4:6, 2:6, and missed the women's singles round of 32.
At this point, this Australian Open trip, the three little flower kings Xinyu, Wang Xiyu and Zheng Qinwen have stopped in the second round. The famous Zhang Shuai advanced in the second round on the same day and entered the round of 32 with Wang Qiang, who won on the 19th.
