Frustration dam. That's how Alexander Zverev appeared in his first match of the season at the United Cup 2026.

Daniil Medvedev has high expectations for these early stages of the season, and his debut at the ATP 250 Brisbane 2026 has been very promising. The Russian defeated Fucsovics 6-3 6-2, setting up a second-round clash with Frances Tiafoe, which will be a big challenge for him. Also, Sebastian Korda's victory over Vacherot by 7-6 (1) 6-3 stood out. The other winners of the day were Michelsen, Lehecka, Majchrzak, Opelka, and Halys.

Dane Sweeny fell in the Brisbane tournament against Reilly Opelka in a truly mismatched duel due to their height difference. The Australian is 1.70m tall and didn't hesitate to grab a chair and stand on it to congratulate the American, who stands at 2.11m. This recalls what Sela did against Karlovic a few years back.

"We have been the target of defamation and intimidation campaigns through narratives aiming to discredit us, and a federal court has ordered these slanders to cease. We are working with players and legal team to assess options for combating this misinformation. The attacks from any player will not deter us from our mission," states the issued statement.
