Riske Impressive Against Vekic
Riske has presented a strong start to the 2022 season, reaching the final of Adelaide prior to the Australian Open.
Helped along the way by Brengle and Zidansek retirements, Riske lost in the final 6-1 6-2 to Keys after beating Linette and Kalinina in the opening rounds.
