Australian Open: the dream continues for Arthur Cazaux who reaches the round of 16

Arthur Cazaux has digested well and continues. After the success against the Dane Holger Rune, the Montpellier native (21 years old; 122nd in the world) made his 3rd round a formality. He dominated the Dutchman Tallon Griekspoor (who had eliminated Arthur Fils in the 2nd round) 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 in 1 hour 46 minutes.

By scoring spectacular points, as if to offer a double break and lead 5-1 in the 3rd set. After quickly recovering a drop shot, the lobbed Frenchman fired a lightning forehand while retreating which left the Dutchman without reaction. Before finishing on 3 aces.

Arthur Cazaux is the first player invited to reach the round of 16 of the Australian Open since Lleyton Hewitt in 2012 and the second non-Australian in the Open era after Mats Wilander in 1994. Here is the Frenchman in good company...

A year ago, Arthur Cazaux was ranked 230th in the world. He will be in the Top 100 in the next ranking.

For a place in the quarter-finals, Arthur Cazaux who finished with two aces will face the Pole Hubert Hurkacz (n°21) who dismissed Ugo Humbert 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7/4), 6 -3.
