Australian Open: Alexei Popyrin stuns Taylor Fritz as men’s draw opens up

Alexei Popyrin is through to the fourth round after a 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-2 win over the No 8 seed Taylor Fritz

Alexei Popyrin did not have a good 2022. The Australian started the year at world No 61 and ended it ranked 120th, knocked out in the opening round of every grand slam bar a second-round appearance at the US Open.

It is his second consecutive win, having already defeated Tseng Chun Hsin in the first round, and will now turn his attention to another American, world No 92 Ben Shelton. Earlier, the dream was over for Kimberly Birrell, who lost her second-round match to the Czech Republic’s Linda Fruhvirtova, 6-3, 6-2.
