SEVEN Aussie winners on day two

Australia has achieved its greatest first-round result in almost 30 years, with 12 locals winning on the opening two days of the 2021 Australian Open.

Daria Gavrilova’s straight sets win over Sara Sorribes Tormo in the final match of the first round made it seven Aussie winners on Tuesday, led by top singles hopes Ash Barty and Alex de Minaur.

Thanasi Kokkinakis (Wild Card) and Sam Stosur both won their first singles wins at Melbourne Park since 2015 - while Chris O’Connell and Alexei Popyrin (who beat 13th seed David Goffin in five sets), won through.

Roger Federer even slipped into Thanasi Kokkinakis' DMs to congratulate him on his win.

Thanasi knows a bargain when he sees one, telling the reporter - “Mate, Kmart special. I went to Chadstone, bought some $6 tees and went to work. I just felt comfortable in it.

🥯🥯 Ash Barty put on a 44-minute clinic in her demolition of Danka Kovinić (6-0, 6-0).

With the five that progressed on Monday, it’s the best local result since 1992.

The only downside was, Jordan Thompson's campaign was cut short after he retired hurt with a neck injury in the third set against Norway's Casper Ruud. He was down 6-3, 6-3, 2-1 at the time.
