15-0, 30-0, 40-0, game. A quickfire hold from Wawrinka and Gea must serve to stay in this match at 4-5.
Break point Wawrinka! He leads 4-3 in the fifth and has advantage on Gea’s serve. The French qualifier, cap backwards, nonchalantly saves it. Ah, the fearlessness of youth; I’m sure 40-year-old Stan is feeling the nerves more. Deuce. Advantage Gea. Game Gea, after a superb touch volley. You wouldn’t know this is the qualifier’s first grand slam tournament. He’s only 21. There’s a 19 YEAR age gap between these two. And they’re locked at 4-4.

Inglis both ecstatic and emotional after beating best friend Birrell
As if playing her home Slam in John Cain Arena wasn't enough pressure, Maddison Inglis also had to contend with the stress of playing her best friend, Kimberly Birrell. Inglis won the match in three sets to advance to the second round of the Australian Open.
Maddison Inglis was overcome with emotion after her first-round win over fellow Australian Kimberly Birrell, in part because it was her first main-draw win at the Australian Open since 2022.
But also because Birrell is her best friend, and knocking her out of the tournament was bittersweet.
"It’s really hard to play such a good friend," Inglis said in her on-court interview after the grueling 7-6 (6), 6-7 (9), 6-4 win. "The last few days have been a bit stressful. It’s so tough. … I absolutely adore her. It was really hard to see her on the other side.
