‘What a battle!’ wrote tennis reporter Jose Morgado as Jacquemot ousted No. 20 seed Kostyuk 6-7(4), 7-6(4), 7-6(10-7) in 3:31 to reach Round 2 in Melbourne. It was the tournament’s first major upset of Round 1. Kostyuk served for it in set two, then slipped hard in the third-set tiebreak, hurting her ankle and taking a medical timeout before finishing.
