MELBOURNE, Australia — (AP) — There was a moment at the Australian Open on Saturday that must have felt very much like a chance for a career-defining result for some of the young men moving into Week 2. “Of course, I know what’s happening,” said Rune, who appeared to hurt his ankle and wrist in a fall during a 6-4, 6-2, 7-6 (5) win against Ugo Humbert and pronounced himself OK afterward. “But mainly I just focus on myself.”Rublev sounded a similar note following his 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 victory over No. “There were some moments before when I feel there is opportunity to go to semis or even final maybe and, in the end, nothing happened,” said Rublev, who delivered 60 winners. Wolf gets the winner of Ben Shelton vs. Alexei Popyrin, while Paul's next opponent will be Andy Murray or Roberto Bautista Agut.

Upsets were the theme of the day at Day 4 of the 2023 Australian Open. Here are all the upsets from Day 4 (minus Ruud's loss to Brooksby). More Americans lost on Day 4 than on any other day thus far, but the wins were huge. But despite the heavy losses for the Americans on Day 4, 13 will be headed into Round 3. 3 Jessica Pegula (the highest-seeded American remaining in the Aussie Open) vs. Marta KostyukNo.

Like Ruud, Ons Jabeur reached the finals of two Grand Slam tournaments in 2002. By reaching the third round, Brooksby joined countrymen Michael Mmoh, Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul and J.J. Wolf, who also won Thursday, along with McDonald, No. 8 Taylor Fritz bowed out with a 6-7 (4), 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-2 loss to 113th-ranked Australian wild-card entry Alexei Popyrin. 23 Diego Schwartzman of Argentina 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. Ruud raced through the end of that set, but Brooksby righted himself in the fourth, jumping out to a 3-0 lead.
