It doesn’t matter much to the result. Medvedev closes it out to move into the second round and a meeting with home favorite John Millman.
Madison Keys beats Anna Blinkova 6-4, 3-6, 6-2!
In the first round of the Australian Open 2023, Keys manages to string a couple of holds together and closes out the match point with a mesmeric backhand down the line, right in the postage stamp. The American lets out a huge scream in relief. That was a real topsy-turvy game, and Blinkova looked dangerous.
Swiatek beats Niemeier 6-4, 7-5!
Swiatek twisted it on when she required to, wearing Niemeier down with some brutal forehands to get the break of serve and convert her first match point. Niemeier holds her calm to shake the hand of Swiatek and the umpire but hits her racket through the air in frustration as she limps back to her chair. She knows that was a missed opportunity.
