Luciano Darderi caused one of the big surprises in the third round of the Australian Open. The Italian defeated Karen Khachanov with a score of 7-6 (5), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in 3 and a half hours to reach the round of 16 in a Grand Slam for the first time in his career. Darderi relied on his powerful serve (17 aces) and strong forehand to put an end to the Russian's comeback attempt, who bids farewell to the first 'Major' of the year earlier than expected. The 23-year-old Italian will face the winner of the match between his compatriot Jannik Sinner and the American Eliot Spizzirri in the round of 16.
