In a stunning upset at the Australian Open, Olga Danilovic, the Serbian tennis player and protege of Novak Djokovic, triumphed over American star Jessica Pegula with a remarkable score of 7-6 (7-5), 6-3. The victory marks Danilovic’s first appearance in the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament. After the match, Danilovic expressed her elation, stating, “I just gave it my all and focused on every point,” emphasizing the importance of maintaining composure in high-pressure moments. Her coach, who had previously guided her to develop a game style similar to that of Djokovic, praised her for bringing what he described as an ‘A-plus-plus-plus game’ to the court. Danilovic’s win comes as a surprise to many as she was a wildcard entrant and is currently ranked number 113 in the world, contrasting with Pegula’s ranking of No. 3. This victory not only elevates Danilovic’s profile but also highlights her potential in the competitive tennis circuit. She will now face either Barbora Krejcikova or Ajla Tomljanovic in the next round, with fans eager to see if she can continue her impressive run at this year’s Australian Open.
