The last Australian woman to fall at Melbourne Park, comeback kid Destanee Aiava believes she's shown she belongs at the top level of international tennis after going toe-to-toe with world No.11 Danielle Collins.
There are now no more Australians in the women's draw heading into the third round after Aiava fell heartbreakingly short of her best ever victory but won plenty of admirers in a gutsy three-set loss on Thursday to former finalist Collins, who's revelling in her role as pantomime villain.
