Congrats to 2 Aussies who won their finals in last 24hrs

18yr Alana Subasic won the ITF final in Turkey, she has been in decent form over last few months. Will see her continue career high ranking climb as well.

Jacob Bradshaw won the ITF final in Tunisia which was against the form guide for him so hopefully paves the way for future success.

The second youngest man to reach 6 Grand Slam titles, behind only Bjorn Borg. Carlos Alcaraz

Three Grand Slam finals in a row for Alcaraz and Sinner (and five Big finals since Sinner’s return in April)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

DEMON STUNNED!

Raphael Collignon has produced the biggest win of his career to hand Belgium an early 1-0 lead over Australia in Sydney.
The 23-year-old battled through severe cramps in the third set to prevail in a high-quality encounter.

Australia on the brink of catastrophe…

Zizou Bergs has backed up a tremendous performance by his teammate,

Raphael Collignon, to defeat

Jordan Thompson and help Belgium take a commanding 2-0 lead in the second round of Davis Cup qualifying.

Aussies need to win all 3 rubbers on Sunday to book their ticket to Bologna in November.
