Jannik Sinner will face American Eliot Spizzirri in Australian Open 2026 third round
This is the first main-draw appearance for Spizzirri
He will play a top-10 opponent for the first time
World no 2. Jannik Sinner has been one of the most dominant forces in the Australian Open as he is in a 16-match winning streak in the competition. He has entered the third round without losing a set and lost very few games overall. In his way of a fourth-round entry, he faces America's Eliot Spizzirri.
Sinner has never faced Spizzirri in his career as the later as the latter has made only three Grand Slam main draw appearances in his career. Sinner is an overwhelming favourite in this tie and he will look to make light work of Spizzirri and conserve his stamina for big matches later.
The 24-year-old American is playing in the main draw of the Australian Open for the first time and has reached a career-best third round. He showed his tactical intelligence in a five-set encounter against Wu Yibing in the second round. This will be the first time in his career that he will play a top-10 ranked opponent.
