this new crop of kids 18-21 are coming out ready for the pros. They seem more physically mature, and now have the power and tactics to wreck any draw. I think this is a trend across all sports, including NHL where they should feel better about handing the keys to the younglings sooner.

He played a very solid match against a very tough opponent - lots to be happy with. Diallo seems to be better every time he plays now and certainly would not have been going toe to toe in some of those baseline exchanges with a top 20 player last year.

Tien won multiple titles on the Challenger tour in 2024 so it's obvious that he's got game but to win back-to-back five set matches like this at the Aussie Open is pretty incredible. Will he have any legs left though going forward?

Add Tien (2006) beating Medvedev (1996)

Slight correction - Above I posted Learner Tien was ranked #108, I must have looked at it before it was updated, Tien has cracked the top 100 at #97

ADF did it again, lost the first two sets and then rallied to win in five over Mensik.

Likely of little help now, but TSN1 has the match (Telus 900)

So far, Leylah is doing okay combined with Coco coming out of the blocks a little slow. On serve with Gauff serving at 2-3

Coco takes the opening set 6-4. A few too many unforced errors from Leylah combined with Coco playing better late in set 1 led to that result.

Oh boy, big trouble now as Coco is up a double break in set 2. Leylah will have to work hard to avoid the bagel here.
