Johanna Konta is through to the third round of the Australian Open after a 6-4, 6-2 win over Naomi Osaka to open play at Rod Laver Arena. Konta clinched the match on her third match point during an extended rally between the players that ended with Konta hitting the ball deep to the open court. Johanna Konta, who made a spirited run to the semifinals at last year's Australian Open, will attempt to advance to the third round when she kicks off Day 4 action at Rod Laver Arena on Thursday. Konta plays Naomi Osaka of Japan in what should be perfect weather conditions at Melbourne Park — sunny skies, a light breeze and a late morning temperature of 19 degrees Celsius (66 Fahrenheit).
