Francesco Maestrelli is experiencing the best moments of his still promising sporting career, and this coming Wednesday, January 20, he will see one of every tennis player's dreams come true. This 23-year-old Italian player is making his Grand Slam tournament debut at the 2026 Australian Open and will face Novak Djokovic in the second round, after defeating Atmane in an epic battle in the first round. He had advanced from the qualifying rounds, where he beat Giustino, Seyboth-Wild, and Lajovic. 

His current ranking is 141 in the world, having reached his best ranking, 137th position, just a few weeks ago. He has won four Challenger titles, the latest of which was in November 2025 in Bergamo, and has only played a single ATP level match. He is a left-handed player with a powerful and spin-filled forehand, who positions himself well over the ball and is capable of varying heights and spins while maintaining an offensive mindset. His serve is a significant weapon, and he will seek to surprise the Serbian player.
