Daria Gavrilova has setup an all-Aussie blockbuster against Ash Barty after defeating Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo in straight sets (6-1 7-5).<\/p>\n
Gavrilova came out with intensity on Tuesday night and refused to ease up as she dictated the flow of play with an aggressive forehand and a willingness to press her opponent.<\/p>\n
Claiming the first set in a breeze, Gavrilova was tested in the second by the Spaniard when she wasted a 5-3 lead, but managed to hold her composure to close out the match.<\/p>\n

In total, the World No.387 hit 31 forehand winners in a dominant display to upset the No.64.<\/p>\n
"Her forehand is a weapon but I've been impressed with the physicality she has approached this match with tonight," Casey Dellacqua said in commentary.<\/p>\n
"She's been looking to be aggressive and looking to take more risk. There's been a real intensity about how she's gone about this match, It's been great to watch."<\/p>\n
