Japan's Naomi Osaka downed Slovenia's Tamara Zidansek 6-2, 6-4 to advance to the third round of the Australian Open here on Thursday.
Zidansek put up a fight and after the match, Osaka indicated there was room for improvement, reports Efe news.
"I served pretty well - I got broken twice, but she was a really great opponent," Osaka said.
"I'll try to play better next time."
