Winning your first grand slam match would feel like winning the tournament. Unreal effort. Also, thanks Monfils for the entertainment you have provided over the years.Dane. Sweeny.
The 24-year-old is a winner at Grand Slam level for the first time, coming through an epic battle withGael Monfils on Kia Arena.
From outside the top 600 last year to winning on this stage

Sweeny was great today but doesn’t have the power game to get far in grand slams - biggest win and also longest match he has played so massive congrats to him.
Monfils was one of my favorite players to watch he is a true magician and one of the genuine shot makers on the tour even at 39.

He was an entertainer, bit like Tsonga. Made 2 semi finals at grand slams. Not a bad effort for someone playing in an era with the likes of Fed, Nadal & Djokovic.
She is setting up her season very well, getting a heap of prize money now gets you more travel options for tournaments to cement rankings into the top 100. Be surprised if Gibbo, Preston with Jones aren’t top 100 by end of the season.
He made watching clay tournaments fun with his slides and flash.
Having entered the 2026 Australian Open as the only Aussie woman seed, Maya Joint's run has ended early after a straight sets defeat on John Cain Arena.
The 30th seed, who was seeking her maiden singles main draw win at Melbourne Park, bowed out 4-6, 4-6 to 18-year-old Tereza Valentova.
(They'll be more!!)

I think Australia has a really good batch or players coming through, very pleasing to see.
Whos the player with the tatts all over her face and.neck?
Oleksandra Oliynykova
Looks.like measles & chicken.pox
More late night Aussie heartbreak

Kasatkina’s form the last 6 months has been shocking. Could move outside the top 100 in the next 2-3mths.
