Must-See Third-Round Matches: Top 5 Picks
As the Australian Open progresses, several thrilling third-round matches capture the attention of tennis enthusiasts. Here are the top five must-see matches that promise excitement and intensity.
Top 5 Must-See Third-Round Matches
1. Madison Keys vs. Karolina Pliskova
Reigning Australian Open champion Madison Keys will face the formidable Karolina Pliskova, a former world No. 1. Despite currently being ranked outside the top 1000 due to injuries, Pliskova has shown resilience. She’s made a strong return to major tournaments, defeating Sloane Stephens and then securing a straight-sets victory over Janice Tjen.
Keys has been steady but occasionally vulnerable in her first matches. Their only previous encounter ended in a thrilling three-set victory for Pliskova in 2020. While Keys enters as the favorite, Pliskova’s potential for an upset makes this a must-watch match.
2. Tommy Paul vs. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
Tommy Paul arrives in Melbourne without the pain that plagued him for over a year, demonstrating significant improvement. The semifinalist from AO 2023 has won his initial matches in straight sets. His upcoming match against 14th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina represents his first significant challenge.
Davidovich Fokina faced a tough five-set match against Reilly Opelka, but has struggled against Paul in their previous encounters. Paul has defeated him four times, including a dominant performance at Melbourne Park last year. This face-off promises to be compelling as both players vie for advancement.
