    Former World No: Former World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev showcased strong form on Monday at the Australian Open, comfortably defeating Jesper de Jong 7-5, 6-2, 7-6(2) to advance to the second round.

    Medvedev, who started his year by winning the Brisbane International, converted seven out of 13 break points against De Jong. This victory also marks his perfect start of 6-0 for the 2026 season, ATP reports.

    Medvedev overcame some inconsistency to defeat the World No. 73 in his first career meeting, winning in two hours and 53 minutes. Despite twice surrendering a break lead in the opening set and failing to serve out the match twice in the third, he maintained control and dominated the deciding tie-break at the Margaret Court Arena.
