Alex Michelsen is proving to be one of the big surprises of this 2025 Australian Open, having secured his spot in the round of 16 after defeating players like Tsitsipas and Khachanov. During a press conference, he reflected on his journey. "I'm playing really well, especially with my serve and handling pressure points. My best shot is my backhand, and I'm executing it perfectly. In today's tennis, everything is very fast-paced, and you have to be very aggressive to succeed," said a man with an interesting story. "Three years ago, I didn't even consider going pro, seriously. With COVID, I started improving, and my coaches encouraged me to try some ITF tournaments. Since then, I haven't stopped working very hard to get to this point," he concluded.
