John Millman vs Daniil Medvedev in Round 2

John Millman has made it to the second round of the 2023 Australian Open and is now preparing to face Daniil Medvedev at Margaret Court Arena on Wednesday (January 18). His first-round victory came against Marc-Andrea Huesler in a five-set encounter.

Millman won the match 6-7, 7-5, 6-7, 6-2, 6-3 in a nerve-wracking encounter. He found it difficult to reply to Heusler's big serve as the Swiss came up with 20 aces in the match while the Aussie ended up hitting only nine. But he managed to make use of the eleven break-point opportunities he got, breaking five out of the eleven.

He won a total of 177 points whereas Heusler managed to win a total of 164 points. The 33-year-old will now face the No.7 seed Russian, who has been a finalist at the Australian Open in the past.

Medvedev cruised into Round 2 with a solid win against Marcos Giron in the first round. He defeated the American 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 in straight sets, as the match lasted only close to 90 minutes.

The 26-year-old looked in complete control of the match despite making four double faults. He took advantage of seven out of thirteen break-point opportunities and won the match with ease, hitting nine aces as well. Medvedev won a total of 91 points, whereas Giron managed to win a total of 51 points.
