- Australian now seeks revenge against Italian Matteo Arnaldi
Alex de Minaur has secured his place in the second round of the Australian Open despite a scare on Monday night, and has pledged to get revenge against his next opponent Matteo Arnaldi for last year’s Davis Cup final defeat.
Australia’s top-ranked player prevailed on Rod Laver Arena against Milos Raonic after the Canadian was forced to withdraw due to a leg injury with the match finely poised at one set all with Di Minaur 2-0 up in the third.
