The Latest: Kuznetsova Loses at Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia — The latest Wednesday from the Australian Open (all times local):

12:56 p.m.

Kateryna Bondarenko notched one of her biggest wins since coming out of retirement after having a baby in 2013, beating two-time Grand Slam champion Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-1, 7-5 in the second round at Melbourne Park.

The 92nd-ranked Bondarenko returned to the tour in 2014 and had failed to get through qualifying at four majors before making the main draw at last year's U.S. Open.

"I retired because I had a baby and I didn't really think to come back," the Ukrainian said after the match.
