Next generation of men's stars announce themselves at Australian Open

ABC  

It smells like teen spirit at Melbourne Park as the second week of the men's singles get underway without a handful of top seeds after they were sent home at the hands of teenagers. Eighteen-year-old João Fonseca shocked ninth seed Andrey Rublev with a straight-sets victory in the opening round, while Learner Tien ousted world number three Daniil Medvedev, and fellow 19-year-old Jakub Mensik stunned sixth seed Casper Ruud in the second round. She then pulled off one of the comebacks of the slam — recovering from 1-5 down in the deciding set against France's Diane Parry to save a match point and win the match in a tie-break — and beat two-time Australian Open defending champion Aryna Sabalenka at last year's French Open. However, the emergence of the teenagers in the men's draw at this Open has fed an extra layer of fan excitement given the current shift in men's tennis following the retirements of 22-time grand slam champion Rafael Nadal and 20-time major winner Roger Federer. Alcaraz and world number one Jannik Sinner — favourites to play out in this year's final — continuously appear in conversations of who will be the next "big three" of men's tennis.
