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

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