✅ Seeds Hold Serve The top names largely avoided the upset bug, with some big names leading the way.

◆ Iga Swiatek survived a scare from qualifier Yuan Yue but stays alive in her career Grand Slam quest.

◆ Coco Gauff picked up her 75th main draw win in grand slam singles.

◆ Daniil Medvedev kept his Brisbane title momentum going.

◆ Alex de Minaur delighted the home crowd, extending his 12-match winning streak vs. lucky losers.

👑 Century Club Novak Djokovic cruised to a 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 win over Pedro Martinez, notching his 100th Australian Open match win. Only Roger Federer has more (102) at any single Slam.

👀 Parks Quells the Crowd Facing Alex Eala and the incredibly large and loud army of fans that now follow her everywhere she goes, Alycia Parks recovers from a whitewash in the opening set to win 0-6, 6-3, 6-2.

🌟 Dream Debut Qualifier Arthur Gea (FRA) stuns 17th seed Jiri Lehecka, 7-5, 7-6, 7-6, 7-5 in his Grand Slam debut. The 21-year-old is now 8-0 in 2026 after winning his first Challenger title at Noumea.

🚨 Upset Alert! Magda Linette dispatches #15 seed Emma Navarro, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. The 2023 AO semifinalist picks up her 18th career win over a Top 20 player.

⏳ Stanimal Sticks Around 40yo Stan Wawrinka, in his announced final season, makes good use of that last minute AO wildcard, getting by Laslo Djere in 4 sets.

💔 Early Exit 7th seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime retires to Nuno Borges while trailing 2 sets to 1 in his 1st round match. The Canadian later said he suffered from cramps.
