Sinner, Monfils, and Swiatek Impress as Tien Continues Cinderella Run at Australian Open

Posted : 18 January 2025

Defending champion Jannik Sinner advanced to the Australian Open last 16 with a straight-set victory over Marcos Giron, taking just over two hours to win 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. The Italian, ranked world No. 1, looked dominant despite dropping a set earlier in the tournament. He will face either Miomir Kecmanovic or Holger Rune in the next round. Sinner remains focused on maintaining his mental toughness as he continues his quest for another major title.

 

38-year-old Gael Monfils, unseeded but in impressive form, defeated fourth seed Taylor Fritz in a thrilling four-set match. Monfils, who recently became the oldest singles champion in ATP history at the Auckland Classic, celebrated a late-career resurgence by overcoming Fritz 3-6, 7-5, 7-6 (7/1), 6-4. Monfils’ wife, Elina Svitolina, also enjoyed a big win, triumphing over world No. 4 Jasmine Paolini in a come-from-behind victory of 2-6, 6-4, 6-0.

 

Teenager Learner Tien, 19, continued his Cinderella run at his Australian Open debut by securing a straight-set victory over Corentin Moutet, who was injured during the match. Tien became the youngest man to reach the fourth round at the tournament since Rafael Nadal in 2005. Meanwhile, Australian Alex de Minaur advanced to the next round with a four-set victory against Francisco Cerundolo and will face American Alex Michelsen for a spot in the quarterfinals.

 

Iga Swiatek produced a ruthless performance, dismantling Emma Raducanu 6-1, 6-0 to advance to the fourth round. Swiatek is aiming for her first Melbourne title, and despite her dominance, she has never reached the semifinals here. In another notable result, Elena Rybakina progressed despite battling back issues, defeating Dayana Yastremska 6-3, 6-4. Emma Navarro also made it through with a gritty win over Ons Jabeur in three sets.
