Gavrilova takes Venice Beach by bike

Published Mar 14, 2019

Daria Gavrilova took note of the fact that the pro tennis life can be great fun. She took care of work in the morning before renting a bike (with a bucket seat for her friend) to ride around Venice Beach, and then left Indian Wells for another sunny city, Miami.

The 25-year-old would reach the third round of the BNP Paribas Open before falling to Elina Svitolina, 7-5, 6-4. By winning her first round over Dayana Yastremska, Gavrilova got her first win of 2019, snapping a six-match losing streak. It was her first victory since beating lucky loser Vitalia Diatchenko in Moscow in October.

The Aussie followed that pivotal win with a straight-set win over No. 28-seeded Mihaela Buzarnescu. She was unseeded due to her lowered ranking of No. 53.

Gavrilova will next take her momentum to Miami, which starts on Tuesday.
