The Australian Open entered the third matchday of contention, with a few joys and some sorrows. Let's take a look at the latest results of the event:
McDonald 6-4 6-4 7-5 Nadal [1]
The defending champion is notoriously ill-fare lately, but it rained overnight and suffered a sudden injury just as he was about to rise in the second set, leaving Nadal stretched thin and ended the match with an injury, losing all three sets. It was one of the few tournaments in Nadal's career to stop the first two rounds of a Grand Slam, and it is rare for the defending champion to go out early in Australian Open history.
[6] Aliassime 3-6 3-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 Molkane
One is Nadal's junior brother and the other is Deyo's junior brother, and the two join hands to bring a five-set battle. After losing one to three in the previous round, the Canadians staged two chasing three in this round. How to start well is crucial, Xiao Hei can't hope to get it back every time!
[7] Medvedev 7-5 6-2 6-2 Millman [WC]
It's still a big win! Mr. May even acted as a "happy comedian" after the match, imitating Vsovic, who showed his muscles after the first-round victory (he only showed his calves). After Nadal is eliminated, May will always be expected to reach the last four.
[10] Hurkacz 3-6 7-6(3) 2-6 6-3 6-3 Sonig
Facing the Italian, who fell in the rankings but still had the strength to go, the Polish master was almost beaten by his opponent, but the cheers of the fans woke him up, and finally won two consecutive sets to stage a comeback.
[16] Tiafoe 6-4 6-4 6-1 Shang Cheng [Q]
The two had partnered in previous training sessions and had a good relationship. This time, as the only Chinese male player to advance to the second round, Xiao Shang was still slightly inferior and was directly knocked out by his opponent. However, the overall performance has won him praise from both players and fans.
All the other seeded players passed, with the only one falling off Van der Champsup, who lost to Grispool in a compatriot derby. The specific scores are as follows
[11] Norrie 6-3 3-6 7-6(2) 6-3 Lestyena
[15] Sinner 6-3 6-2 6-2 Echevelli
[18] Kachanov 6-4 5-7 6-4 6-2 Kübler [WC]
[20] Shapovalov 6-3 7-6(3) 7-5 Daniel Taro
[28] Cerendoro 3-6 6-4 6-2 7-5 Mutai
[29] Koda 6-2 7-5 6-4 Yosuke Mianguan
[31] Yoshihito Nishioka 6-3 6-4 6-2 Svrchner
Grispool 6-4 6-4 6-4 Van der Champ [32]
Because it rained the day before yesterday, the first round of make-up matches has all ended. Including Agut, Kokinacis, Clesi, Manarino, Ember, Rusuvori, etc. all passed the level. (Source: Tennis House Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
