He will not repeat his feat for last year. Daniil Medvedev, 8 in the world and finalist of the last two editions of the Australian Open, was eliminated in the third round of the competition on Friday January 20 in Melbourne. He bowed in three sets, 7-6 (9/7), 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), against the American Sebastian Korda, 31 in the world.

The Russian, who had become the world number one one month after his final in the Australian adult last year, never found the solution against Korda. The latter will face Polish Hubert Hurkacz (11 ^{e ) to try to climb for the first time in his career in the quarter -finals of a Grand Chelem tournament.}
