The Australian Open’s first week did not go according to script. But after all the upsets, there’s an air of intrigue about what might unfold over the next several days, DanWolken writes.
— is an interesting story because of how long it took her to first crack the top-100 in 2019 and then the top-50 for the first time in early 2021.
To be fair, Shelton has not had the most demanding draw, facing Zhizhen Zhang , Nicolas Jarry , Alexei Popyrin and J.J. Wolf on the way to the quarterfinals. Still, the 6-foot-4 lefty is showing the world why he’s such an exciting prospect. Though the foundation of his game is a massive serve, Shelton plays with a lot of variety and athleticism and so far has not shown a significant weakness that opponents can attack.
Korda has been one of the revelations of the tournament, beating two-time Australian Open finalist Daniil Medvedev in straight sets and then backing it up with a fifth-set tiebreaker victory over No. 10 seed Hubert Hurkacz. Korda, the son of 1998 Australian Open winner Petr Korda, is a beautiful player to watch because he is so fluid and technically sound in everything he does.
Against Khachanov, Korda will hope to avenge a loss he suffered in the round of 16 at Wimbledon in 2021 where he lost 10-8 in a fifth set that featured 13 breaks of serve. Stefanos Tsitsipas has been oh-so-close to a major title, winning the first two sets from Djokovic in the 2021 French Open final before watching the trophy get ripped from his grasp. But the 24-year-old Greek might get another opportunity this week, as the draw has set up for him to make his second Grand Slam final.
