Fearnley is excited to face an ‘incredible player’ in Zverev as the 23-year-old plays in the third round of a grand slam for the first time

Scottish tennis star Jacob Fearnley has defeated Arthur Cazaux to reach the third round of the Australian Open. The 23-year-old, from Dalkeith, came back from a set down to win the second-round clash 3-1 on Wednesday morning.

Great Britain's Jacob Fearnley claimed the biggest win of his career at the Australian Open with a straight-sets victory over Nick Kyrgios. Home favourite Kyrgios, the 2022 Wimbledon finalist, was handicapped by an abdominal strain as Fearnley prevailed 7-6 (3) 6-3 7-6 (2) in two hours and 19 minutes in Melbourne.
