2nd time in a grand slam final to the same person this year.

16yr old already pushing up the rankings as well could have a great future.

Another young Aussie to keep an eye on is Maya Joint who has jumped nearly 1000 ranking spots in the last 4-5mths and is about to crack into the top 150.

Incredible effort he just beat the GOAT. He won an ATP tournament the other week.

Amazing stuff, so happy for him. Hope he can use this momentum as his career continues.

It's going to be an all-Aussie clash in the fourth round... Demon vs Jordan Thompson (who is a tigers supporter)

His opponent Dan Evans played the longest match in US Open history in the first round. He had nothing left to give. A quicker match will definitely help Demon in the fourth round but it should be a great contest. One thing is for sure, there will be an Aussie in the quarter final.

 

[WestsEffTheRest]

This has been a cracker game between Sinner & Medvedev. Feel for demon the kid will get there though.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Yes. Feel.bad. For both of them. What to do with all their money.. Tough decision.

Aussie men have absolutely turned up in 2024!
A doubles renaissance that's seen Grand Slam AND Olympic glory.
