Tennis: The draw for Argentines at the Australian Open | OneFootball

The fate has been decided for the Argentine representatives at the 2026 Australian Open, the first major challenge of the season. Some with more, others with less, the question will be to see what they are capable of. Here’s what to know:

Francisco Cerúndolo (20th in the world ranking), for example, aims to change the impression he left in Adelaide (defeat at the hands of Jaume Munar) and get back on track against Zhinzhen Zhang (362nd). A positive precedent for the Argentine dates back to Eastbourne (grass) 2023, a tournament in which he was crowned champion, no less.

Sebastián Báez (39th), meanwhile, wasn’t so lucky. He’ll face Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard (63rd), the powerful French server who boasts impressive numbers, especially on serve. They could even meet again this week if both reach the final of the ATP in Auckland.

Tomás Etcheverry (61st) will do the same against Miomir Kecmanovic (59th). It’s a close match-up, with three previous encounters and a 2-1 lead for the player from La Plata: Roland Garros 2022 for the Serbian, and the 2023 Paris Masters 1000 and Stockholm 2025 for the Argentine.

Additionally, Francisco Comesaña (68th) vs. Patrick Kypson (116th), Mariano Navone (74th) vs. Hamad Medjedovic (96th), Juan Manuel Cerúndolo (83rd) vs. Jordan Thompson (111th), Thiago Tirante (102nd) vs. Aleksandar Vukic (87th), and Camilo Ugo Carabelli (47th) vs. Marton Fucsovics (55th).

Among the women, Solana Sierra (64th) will carry the Argentine flag when she faces Japan’s Moyuka Uchijima (87th) in her debut.
