Former world No.1 Karolina Pliskova feels like she is slowly warming to the task after storming into the Australian Open's second week for the first time in four years.
Runner-up to Ash Barty in the 2021 Wimbledon final, Pliskova pounded down six aces and bossed Varvara Gracheva from the back in a 6-4 6-2 dispatch of the Russian on Saturday.
