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.

 

[NickyV]

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.
