Stats - No 5-set matches played at the Australian Open, for the 7th time since the beginning of the Open era

Now that the first Grand Slam of the year is over, we can draw a few conclusions. It's fair to say that the second week in Melbourne didn't produce any thrilling encounters.

As evidenced by this statistic shared by the account X Jeu, Set et Maths, stating that no 5-set matches were played in the second week in Melbourne.

This is the 7th time in the Open era that this has happened, the previous 6 times being at the 1977 US Open, 1983 Australian Open, 2004 Wimbledon, 2007 French Open, 2008 Australian Open and 2016 French Open.

Despite the epic opening rounds played in Melbourne this year, the second week failed to live up to its promise.
