Inglis dream run continues

Young Aussie wild-card Maddison Inglis continued her dream run at the Australian Open with a superb 7-6, 2-6, 6-2 win over Hailey Baptiste on Margaret Court Arena.

Inglis won a tough first set that lasted 50 minutes, but then lost out in the second against Baptiste’s powerful serve.

Baptiste’s powerful serve troubles the 24-year-old but when Inglis broke in the fourth game on the back of two double faults from Baptiste it was hers to take.

She held serve and then broke Baptiste to go 4-2 up and take the match.
