Monday is sure to provide more highlights and talking points, no match more so than Djokovic’s meeting with Aussie Alex de Minaur. The big shock was first seed Iga Swiatek, who admitted she struggled with being the raging favourite, falling to Elena Rybakina in straight sets.Ĭoco Gauff was also bundled out, leaving the women’s title up for grabs. Three times Tsitsipas has reached the semi-finals but not progressed at Melbourne Park, and he looks en route to at least match that appearance ahead of a quarter-final with Jiri Leheck, the little-known Czech who knocked sixth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime out of the Open.Īuger-Aliassime wasn’t the only big name to depart on Sunday, however, with more highly ranked players exiting the women’s draw. The Greek star showed git in winning an epic five-set battle against Italian Jannik Sinner on day 7, conceding a two-sets-to-love lead, only to find another gear in the fifth and deciding set. Novak Djokovic might be the raging favourite to win this year’s Australian Open, but if he can’t do it, then Stefanos Tsitsipas certainly looks like he can.
