Unseeded Ethan Quinn to face rising star Jakub Mensik in third round

American sensation Ethan Quinn and Czech 18th seed Jakub Mensik will meet in a highly anticipated third-round encounter at the Australian Open after both players secured straight-sets victories on Thursday.

American Ethan Quinn and Czech 18th seed Jakub Mensik will clash for a place in the Australian Open fourth round after the two rising stars produced comprehensive straight-sets victories to dismiss their respective opponents on Thursday.

Ethan Quinn, a 21-year-old unseeded American making his main draw debut in Melbourne, authored the upset of the morning by dominating Hubert Hurkacz 6-2 6-3 6-2. The 28-year-old Pole appeared flat-footed as Quinn dictated play with aggressive baseline hitting and tactical variety. The victory follows Quinn’s clinical opening-round dismissal of 24th seed Tallon Griekspoor, meaning the world number 112 has yet to drop a set in the tournament.
