Snapshot of day seven at the *********** Open

SNAPSHOT FROM DAY SEVEN OF THE *********** OPEN AT MELBOURNE PARK:

PLAYER OF THE DAY: At 20, Alex Michelsen is the youngest American since Pete Sampras and four-time AO champion Andre Agassi at the 1990 US Open to record multiple top-20 wins at a grand slam after adding 19th seed Karen Khachanov to his list of victims that also includes 2023 finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas.

STAT OF THE DAY: ******* Eva Lys is the first qualifying lucky loser to make the women’s last 16 since the *********** Open moved to Melbourne Park in 1988 after continuing her fairytale run with a three-set win over Jaqueline Cristian.

PIC OF THE DAY:

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “I will hopefully see my physio and he does some magic.” – Former Wimbledon champion and 2023 AO women’s runner-up Elena Ryabkina admitted her tournament was in doubt after fighting through a back injury to beat Dayana Yastremska.

THE MOMENT: Alex de Minaur’s incredible reflexes might have saved him from a two-set deficit in a tense four-set third-round win over Francisco Cerundolo.

TOURNAMENT SUMMARY: While de Minaur and Michelsen marched on, the American’s fourth-seeded countryman Taylor ****** was eliminated by French veteran Gael Monfils in the biggest boilover of the Open thus far. World No.2 Iga Swiatek led the seeds through on a mostly upset-free day in the women’s event.
