Title contenders for the 2024 Australian Open – Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz, and Daniil Medvedev – will be aiming to make it through another round on Saturday, January 20.
Swiatek’s stunning comeback against Danielle Collins in the second round has been one of the highlights of the tournament so far. Down 1-4 in the third set, the World No. 1 bagged five straight games for a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4 victory. She’ll next take on Linda Noskova for a spot in the fourth round.
Medvedev, too, came back from the brink of defeat to score a 3-6, 6-7 (1), 6-4, 7-6 (1), 6-0 win over Emil Ruusuvuori in the second round. Their match concluded a little before 4:00 a.m. The Russian will face a familiar rival, Felix Auger-Aliassime, in the third round.
Alcaraz was the only one who had a relatively easier time in the previous round, as he bested Lorenzo Sonego 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-3, 7-6 (3). He’ll face Chinese teenager Shang Juncheng in the next round on Saturday.
