Alex de Minaur Advances to Third Round of Australian Open

De Minaur's victory over Arnaldi seen as revenge for Davis Cup loss, faces either Cobolli or Kotov next.

Alex de Minaur, Australia's top-ranked men's player, advances to the third round of the Australian Open after defeating Italian Matteo Arnaldi in straight sets.
De Minaur's victory is seen as a form of revenge against Italy, who beat Australia in last year's Davis Cup final.
De Minaur will face either Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli or 65th-ranked Pavel Kotov in the third round.
De Minaur's performance has been strong, with recent wins over Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, and Taylor Fritz in the United Cup.
Alexei Popyrin, another Australian player, is set to face world number one Novak Djokovic in the second round.
