MELBOURNE (Reuters) -Ons Jabeur suffered a stunning 6-0 6-2 loss to Russian 16-year-old Mirra Andreeva in the Australian Open second round on Wednesday as the sixth seed's bid to become the first Arab and African woman to win a Grand Slam title lay in tatters.

Andreeva was in tears 12 months ago after losing the girls' final but cut a much happier figure on her return to Rod Laver arena as she secured her first top-10 win.
