Australian Open: Bencic beats Giorgi to reach fourth round, continue unbeaten January run

Switzerland’s 12th seed Belinda Bencic on Saturday stormed into the women’s singles fourth round at the Australian Open with a hard-fought 6-2 7-5 victory over Camila Giorgi of Italy. Giorgi has a reputation for slaying seeds and that set the scene for an intriguing clash in the Round of 32 at Melbourne Park on Saturday. In the second set, the two players traded serve in the first two games before Bencic broke Giorgi’s serve again in the third game.
