After a thrilling run to the third round at the Australian Open last season, Alex Bolt has continued to surprise on home soil in 2020. He had looked rather flat in edging out the veteran Stephane Robert in the first round, which suggested he would struggle against the in-form Jan-Lennard Struff. Instead, Bolt dispatched the seventh seed with relative ease, winning 6-3 6-4, to set up a quarterfinal clash with Canadian second seed Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The teenaged Auger-Aliassime endured a torrid week at the ATP Cup, with Canada reaching the quarterfinals in spite, rather than because, of his efforts. That said, he did somewhat improve in beating the journeyman James Duckworth in straight-sets. However, Bolt clearly enjoys playing in front of his home crowd in Australia and the man from Murray Bridge’s talent should not be overlooked. Having pulled off one big upset already this week, don’t be surprised if he manages another.
