MELBOURNE, Australia — The latest from the Australian Open on Friday (all times local):
10:19 p.m.
Daria Gavrilova hasn't been an Australian citizen for very long, but it hasn't muted the country's celebration for its latest breakout tennis star.
The Russian-born Gavrilova, who became a permanent resident in 2013 and received her Australian passport in December, advanced to the round of 16 at Melbourne Park with a 6-4, 4-6, 11-9 win over Kristina Mladenovic of France.
It was a rematch of the 2009 French Open girls final, won by Mladenovic.
The crowd roared when Gavrilova broke Mladenovic to go up 10-9 in the final set, chanting "Dasha, Dasha, Dasha" on the changeover.
