Hockey India President Dilip Tirkey expressed his enthusiasm and stated: "This bilateral series against Germany will be a remarkable showcase of world-class hockey. Both India and Germany have a rich history in the sport, and this series will give fans an opportunity to witness an intense competition between two of the most formidable teams in the world.

"It is a great honour to be nominated for the FIH Player of the Year Award again," the Indian defender stated in a Hockey India release.

Rybakina made light work of her first-round opponent Emerson Jones and was equally as comfortable against wildcard Iva Jovic on Thursday.

The 2022 Wimbledon champion, who was a beaten finalist at Melbourne Park in 2023 and was knocked out in the second round last year, needed just 80 minutes to seal a 6-0 6-3 win over 17-year-old Jovic.

Her victory teed up a third-round tie against Dayana Yastremska, who defeated Danka Kovinic 6-0 6-1.
