Sweet revenge for Rafa as de Minaur downed to keep legend's Madrid fairytale alive
Alex de Minaur has missed out on the chance of a lifetime to beat Rafael Nadal on clay in successive tournaments, blown away by…
After a reality check in the Davis Cup, our Aussie men are in Memphis to compete in the U.S National Indoor Tennis Championships.
Four Australians are in the draw this week in Memphis – Matthew Ebden, Marinko Matosevic, Nick Kyrgios and Lleyton Hewitt.
Kei Nishikori is the top seed in Memphis with Feliciano Lopez second and our own Lleyton Hewitt with a real opportunity as the third seed.
Lleyton opens up his campaign in this ATP World Tour 250 event with a bye before facing a possible match-up against Marcos Baghdatis. Hewitt has a comfortable draw with a probable semi-final match-up against the top seed.
Aussie young gun Nick Kyrgios will look to back up a promising performance in France with a solid performance in Memphis as the wildcard plays American Tim Smyczek.
This is the highlight match of the day and Nick will have to battle the patriotic crowd in an exciting match-up.
Marinko Matosevic also has a big opportunity to push forward in this tournament. He will start off his championship with the fifth seed position and a match against Jiri Vesely of Russia.
This is a match Matosevic is expected to win and this should happen, provided Marinko keeps his composure.
To round off the Australians, 62nd ranked Matthew Ebden will try to forget the demons of his loss in the second round of the Australian Open as he faces the big serving Ivo Karlovic.
A positive Australian showing this week in Memphis setting up a busy week in tennis – Rotterdam and Buenos Aires tournaments are also currently going on this week as the tour hosts tournaments on both hard and clay courts before the Davis Cup quarterfinals in April.
