After Casper Ruud, the favorites Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz were defeated in the second round of the Australian Open.
Alexander Zverev was defeated by “easy loser” Michael Mo, with a score of 6:7 (1), 6:4, 6:3, 6:2.
In the first set, Sasha put up a great resistance, but he was not the one attacking, but the one defending, which Mo showed in the next three sets, who eventually folded.
While Alexei Popyrin was better than Taylor Fritz, with a score of 7:6 (4), 6:7 (2), 4:6, 7:6 (6), 2:6.
The whole match was very exciting to watch, but in the last set, the deciding set, Fritz lost his strength, which Popyrin took advantage of to everyone’s surprise and deservedly celebrated his biggest victory of the favorite so far.
