MEDVEDEV OUT AFTER LOSING TO US TEENAGER TIEN IN FIVE-SET THRILLER
Medvedev is out after he lost to US teenager Learner Tien, 6-3 7-6 (7-4) 6-7 (8-10) 1-6 7-6 (10-7).
Furthermore, the Russian No.5 seed failed to sustain an impressive fourth set performance as the American came back to force a 10-point tiebreak.
Moreover, the 19-year-old world No.121 got his second wind after a brief rain delay to finish the mach at 02:54 local time in Melbourne.
Tien becomes the youngest American American since then 18-year-old Pete Sampras to reach the Australian Open third round.
Sampras did the feat in 1990.
“I was definitely hoping it wasn’t going to a fifth-set breaker but either way I’m just really happy to get the win,” Tien said.
The American won after four hours and 49 minutes.
SINNER TAKES SCHOOLKATE TO THE SIDELINES WITH STRAIGHT-SETS WIN
Sinner took Australian Tristan Schoolkate to the sidelines after posting a 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-3 victory.
Moreover, the Italian world No.1 overcame an opening set loss with precision tennis to set back Schoolkate.
Furthermore, Sinner lost a set for the first time since a Shanghai Masters match against Tomas Etcheverry in October 2 last year.
Meanwhile, American Francis Tiafoe failed to advance after yielding a 7-6, 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 1-6 loss against Fabian Maroszan of Hungary.
Lorenzo Sonego of Italy eliminated Joao Fonseca of Brazil, 7-6, 3-6, 1-6, 6-3, 3-6.
COLLINS TROLLS FANS AFTER WIN, THANKS THEM FOR ‘PAYING MY BILLS’
Furthermore, Collins trolls fans after her 7-6, 4-6, 6-2 triumph over Australian Destanee Aiava.
Moreover, the American 10th seed blew kisses to the crowd and cupped her left hand to the ear amid the boos.
The 31-year-old Collins would later thank the fans for “paying my bills.”
“One of the greatest things about being a professional athlete is that the people that don’t like you and the people that hate you, they actually pay your bills,” the American said.
“My professional career is not going to last forever so I just remind myself every day when I have that kind of stuff (negative crowd reactions) they’re paying my bills,” she added.
