The winner of this match will be up against Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner in the quarets. By no means will that match be an easy task for whichever player wins today.
Nonetheless, we wish both players the best of luck for the remainder of the match. The Australian Open 2022 men’s quarterfinal matches will be played tomorrow and the day after. We wish all players the best of luck in the upcoming days.
