John Millman, the 33-year-old Australian tennis professional, is one of the wildcard entries into the 2023 Australian Open. The tennis veteran has won a single ATP title in his career, and hailing from Australia itself, he is a certified fan favorite at the first Grand Slam of the season. Millman has justified his wild-card entry into the tournament as he pulled off an epic victory in the first round of the tournament.

In the first round of the 2023 Australian Open, John Millman faced Switzerland’s Marc-Andrea Huesler. The Australian professional needed a wild-card entry into the Australian Open after injuries caused him to topple down in the lower world rankings.

Millman has now made the most of his wildcard entry as he defeated Huesler in a thrilling encounter that last for over four hours. The Australian pulled off an epic comeback by 6-7 (8-10), 7-5 6-7 (2-7), 6-2 6-3 in the first round of the Australian Open. This was the Australian’s 50th match at a Grand Slam and appeared in his ninth Australian Open main draw.

Millman will either face Daniil Medvedev or Marcos Giron in the second round

World number 51, Huesler won his maiden ATP title in Sofia last year when he defeated Holger Rune. After his defeat in the Australian Open, Huesler has now lost three straight five-set matches in Grand Slams. Millman sent the crowd into a frenzy as he defeated Huesler in a thrilling match.

Following his insane first-round victory against Huesler, John Millman is going to face either Daniil Medvedev or Marcos Giron in the second round of the 2023 Australian Open. Both of those players could be tough opponents for the Australian, but Millman will be looking to use his first-round victory as a boost going into the second round.

It is extremely likely that Millman is going to face US Open 2021 champion Daniil Medvedev in the next round which is not going to be an easy match for the Australian professional. Medvedev will be looking to make quick work of Giron as he faces him in the first round of the Australian Open.
