Tennis: 'Nervous and negative' admits Halep as she edges into next round of Australian Open

Simona Halep narrowly escaped an early exit at the Australian Open, coming back from 5-2 down in the third set to beat world number 72 Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia 4-6, 6-4, 7-5.

The second-seeded Halep hadn't lost to a player ranked as low as Tomljanovic since her second-round defeat at the 2019 U.S. Open.
