The death of favorites at the Australian Open 2023 continues: With Taylor Fritz, the next player who had to say goodbye to Casper Ruud on Thursday, who could certainly be expected to shine well into the second week, had to say goodbye. Fritz lost to local hero Alexei Popyrin 7: 6 (4), 6: 7 (2), 4: 6, 7: 6 (6) and 2: 6.
Holger Rune did better, who had surprisingly few problems in the 7: 5, 6: 4 and 6: 4 against Maxime Bressy. Rune plays Ugo Humbert from France in round three.
A little earlier on Thursday, Andrey Rublev also secured a place in round three. After the four-set win against Emil Ruusuvuori, the Russian now has to deal with Daniel Evans.
