Melbourne: Ageless Mirjana Lucic-Baroni turned back the clock to stun third seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the Australian Open in round two yesterday. The Croat won 6-3, 6-2 for one of her biggest career victories.

Radwanska's shock exit was the second by a top five seed in the opening rounds, with World No. 4 Simona Halep beaten in the first round. "It's amazing, oh my God," said Lucic-Baroni. "It's been so long since I won a match or two (at a Grand Slam). Actually as I'm getting older, it seems like I'm getting better. I knew until the last point I would have to fight. I was able to do that. I'm so happy."
It was an incredible feat for a woman who made the second round in Melbourne on debut in 1998 but had been knocked out at the first hurdle since then.
It made Lucic-Baroni a proud owner of an Australian Open record with the 19-year gap between victories the longest in tournament history.
