The 2023 finalist sensationally exits the scene in the first round. Good debut for Carballes Baena, who eliminates the Chilean Tabilo
If 2024 was highly negative, the start of 2025 for Stefanos Tsitsipas is totally disastrous, with the first round defeat at the Australian Open. The 2023 finalist from Melbourne goes out in the first round against Alex Michelsen, a young boy who is growing more and more and is becoming a certainty for American tennis. Tsitsipas, seeded number 11 in the seeding, leaves the scene immediately, defeated 7-5 6-3 2-6 6-4 by a player who always shows off his great repertoire on these courts, built on the serve, the forehand and lots of accelerations. For Tsitsipas, who has not won a tournament since Monte Carlo 2024 (he also defeated Sinner in a match full of controversy due to refereeing decisions against the Italian), the crisis continues and is now worrying.
THE OTHERS – Good debut for Carballes Baena, who eliminates the Chilean Tabilo and enters the second round. The Roma 2024 finalist fails to impose his game and falls into the trap of the Spaniard, who has always been an intelligent player. Basilashvili also leaves the scene, defeated by Mensik.
