Elina Svitolina Vs Mirra Andreeva Live Score, Australian Open Round 4: Ukrainian Takes First Set

After a bit of break and mental regrouping, Andreeva starts the second set strongly, breaking Svitolina's serve to take a 2-0 lead. But the Ukrainian does not take to it kindly, breaking right back to clinch three games in a row and bring it back on serve at 3-2.

Elina Svitolina resumes ascendancy after the brief lapse, taking three straight games to claim the first set comfortably by a 6-2 margin. Andreeva under immense pressure to stay alive in the contest.

Mirra Andreeva starts the first set a bit shakily, a string of unforced errors coming from her racket. That allows Svitolina to break the Russian's serve in the fourth game but Andreeva breaks right back in the fifth to bring the set back on serve at 3-2.

The players take the court and after the customary pre-match knocking, the first set gets underway at the Rod Laver Arena. Svitolina serving first against Mirra Andreeva, and the Russian's French tennis star husband Gael Monfils expresses his support on air, right at the outset.
