The Six Players Who Have The Most To Lose & Gain In Melbourne

Spoiler:

ATPTour.com looks at the players who are under ATP Rankings pressure in Melbourne and those who have a big opportunity to climb up the standings
Three Players Under Pressure
Last year in Melbourne, Hyeon Chung, Kyle Edmund and Tennys Sandgren each broke through for the biggest result of their career. With plenty of ATP Rankings points to defend, their efforts this fortnight are all the more important. View The Current ATP Rankings

Hyeon Chung
The South Korean showed his potential in 2017 in Milan, winning the inaugural Next Gen ATP Finals. And Chung took it a step further just two months later at the 2018 Australian Open, advancing to the semi-finals. To get there, he impressively beat a strong group of opponents including Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic.

Because of that strong performance, Chung is defending 720 of his 1,585 ATP Ranking points in the coming fortnight. Should the No. 24 seed lose in the first round to American Bradley Klahn, Chung could potentially drop outside the Top 50.


Kyle Edmund
Like Chung, Edmund also earned the best result of his career at the 2018 Australian Open. The British No. 1 had been to the fourth round of a major only once in 13 previous attempts.

But after battling past eventual Nitto ATP Finals qualifier Kevin Anderson in the first round in five sets, Edmund found the best tennis of his life to advance to the semi-finals.

Edmund is currently at a career-best World No. 14, thanks in part to a runner-up finish in Marrakech in April and his first ATP Tour title in Antwerp in October. But the 24-year-old is defending 720 points in Melbourne. Edmund faces a stern opening test against former World No. 4 Tomas Berdych.


Tennys Sandgren
The American entered last year's Australian Open with just two tour-level wins to his name. But Sandgren beat two players inside the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings en route to the quarter-finals, earning 360 points. Before Sandgren competed last week in Auckland, that was nearly half of his point total.

But the 27-year-old found the perfect time to claim his maiden ATP Tour title, triumphing at the ASB Classic, an ATP 250 event, on Saturday. Nevertheless, he will look to make another run in Melbourne, and it all starts with his first-round match against Yoshihito Nishioka.


Three Players With A Big Opportunity
The following players, who are all inside the Top 30 of the ATP Rankings, fell in the first round of the 2018 Australian Open. That means that they are only defending 10 points in Melbourne, so any victory will see them gain points on 28 January, when the new ATP Rankings are released.

Borna Coric
Surprisingly, Coric has not won a match at the Australian Open in four attempts. With that being said, the Croatian has never carried more momentum into the event.

Just three months ago, Coric advanced to his first ATP Masters 1000 final, beating Juan Martin del Potro and Roger Federer en route to the championship match. That wasn’t his only victory over Federer last year, as Coric defeated the Swiss to triumph at the ATP 500 event in Halle for the biggest title of his career.

Coric opens against Pune semi-finalist Steve Darcis, who missed all of 2018 due to injury. The first seeded opponent Coric is projected to face is No. 17 seed Marco Cecchinato in the third round. Cecchinato reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros last year, but he owns a 6-17 tour-level record on hard courts.


Roberto Bautista Agut
Perhaps no player has gotten off to a better start in 2019 than Bautista Agut. The Spaniard not only defeated Novak Djokovic in the Doha semi-finals, but he also battled past Berdych in a tough three-setter to lift the trophy at the ATP 250 event.

Bautista Agut faces a stern test in the opening round in former World No. 1 Andy Murray. The first seeded player Bautista Agut could face — in the third round — is No. 10 seed Karen Khachanov, whom the Spaniard leads 2-1 in their FedEx ATP Head2Head series.


Alex de Minaur
This time last year, De Minaur was new on the ATP Tour scene. He began the 2018 season at No. 208 in the ATP Rankings, so his run to the Brisbane semi-finals and the Sydney championship match was a pleasant surprise for the teenager.

He lost in the first round in Melbourne last season, but more will be expected of him this time around. De Minaur, a runner-up at the Next Gen ATP Finals in November, is fresh off capturing his maiden ATP Tour title at the Sydney International. The 19-year-old not only lifted the trophy, but he defeated two 34-year-old veterans — Gilles Simon and then Andreas Seppi — on Saturday to do so.

De Minaur, the No 27 seed, opens against Portugal’s Pedro Sousa, and if he wins he will face qualifier Henri Laaksonen or 2018 Sofia titlist Mirza Basic for a spot in the third round, where 2009 champion Rafael Nadal potentially awaits.

Four Sleepers To Watch At The Australian Open

Spoiler:

Discover who may be likely to challenge top-ranked stars in Melbourne

Stan Wawrinka
Last year, Wawrinka made his return to action at the Australian Open following two left knee surgeries in August 2017. The 2014 champion reached the second round in Melbourne, falling to surprise quarter-finalist Tennys Sandgren, before struggling for form in the opening half of the 2018 season.

Since then, the 16-time tour-level champion has shown signs of his best level. Wawrinka pushed eventual champion Rafael Nadal at the Rogers Cup before forcing Roger Federer to three sets at the Western & Southern Open. The former World No. 3 rose from No. 263 in the ATP Rankings on 11 June to end the season at No. 66.

Wawrinka maintained that momentum in Doha at the start of his 2019 ATP Tour season, beating Rolex Paris Masters champion Karen Khachanov and World No. 43 Nicolas Jarry at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open before a straight-sets loss to eventual tournament winner Roberto Bautista Agut in the quarter-finals.

With a return to form and a 37-12 record at Melbourne Park, former champion Wawrinka should feel confident that he can once again produce his best tennis at the opening Grand Slam of the season. The 33-year-old will meet Ernests Gulbis of Latvia in the first round.



Milos Raonic
The former World No. 3 Raonic's greatest Grand Slam performance to date may be his run the the 2016 Wimbledon final, but he has maintained great consistency at the Australian Open, too. Raonic advanced to the quarter-finals or better in three consecutive visits to the event between 2015-17. And the 6'5" right-hander came within a set of reaching the championship match in 2016, as Andy Murray rallied from two sets to one down to beat the Canadian after four hours and three minutes.

So if Raonic can return to the level he showed during that period, he may be able to challenge for the title once more. And quietly, Raonic is creeping back towards the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings. Last March, he fell as low as No. 40. But now World No. 17, Raonic has continued to improve his level, reaching three ATP Masters 1000 quarter-finals as well as the last eight at Wimbledon in 2018.

The Canadian No. 1 faces a stiff challenge right away in talented Aussie Nick Kyrgios, against whom he has split six FedEx ATP Head2Head meetings. But if Raonic can get past the home favourite, and potentially Wawrinka in the second round, that could be the slingshot he needs for a deep run in Melbourne.


Tomas Berdych
Berdych may have ended his 2018 ATP Tour season in June at the Fever-Tree Championships, due to a back injury. But the Czech quickly reminded fans ahead of the Australian Open that he is still capable of returning to his best level.

In the opening week of the season, Berdych reached his first final since 2017 Lyon at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, dropping just one set en route to the championship match (l. to Bautista Agut). Berdych enters the year's first major with great experience at Melbourne Park, having reached the quarter-finals or better in seven of the past eight years.

Berdych will meet 2018 semi-finalist Kyle Edmund in the first round, and, if he can upset the Antwerp champion, the Czech could once again make a deep run. Since reaching his first Australian Open quarter-final in 2011, Federer is the only man ranked outside the Top 10 in the ATP Rankings to beat Berdych at the event. Federer defeated Berdych in three sets en route to the title in 2017.


Jo-Wilfried Tsonga
Like Wawrinka, Tsonga is also climbing back up the ATP Rankings following left knee surgery. The Frenchman missed seven months of action on the ATP Tour in 2018 before returning at home in Metz last September.

Following his recovery, Tsonga managed to win just one of six tour-level matches to end the season at No. 239 in the ATP Rankings. But the Frenchman wasted little time in 2019 showing that he has plenty of tennis left in him. The 33-year-old impressed crowds at the Brisbane International, beating Thanasi Kokkinakis, Taro Daniel and Alex de Minaur in straight sets to reach the last four, where he fell to in-form Russian Daniil Medvedev. Tsonga's win against De Minaur looks even more impressive now after the Aussie went on to clinch his maiden tour-level title at the Sydney International.

Tsonga returns to the Australian Open with confidence ahead of his opening match against Martin Klizan. The 2008 runner-up Tsonga owns a 36-11 record in Melbourne, having reached the quarter-finals or better in five of his 11 appearances. If Tsonga can defeat Klizan, his next match could be against World No. 1 Novak Djokovic in a repeat of the 2008 championship match.
