Australian Open Highlights: Medvedev’s Comeback, Tsitsipas And De Minaur Impress

Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev faced a tough challenge in the Australian Open first round as he came from a set down against Terence Atmane.

Meanwhile, Greek seventh seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and 10th seed Alex de Minaur secured wins. Former champions Stan Wawrinka and Dominic Thiem faced losses in five-set battles.
