John Millman has produced a typically gutsy performance against Alexander Zverev, but he found himself outclassed by the world number three in a straight-sets defeat at the Australian Open.The German broke Millman's serve six times during the matchThe popular Queenslander can be counted on to play right through to the end, however Zverev was always a step ahead of his opponent in their second-round match, winning 6-4, 6-4, 6-0 on Rod Laver Arena.
The strength of his win over Millman could not be considered proof enough that he is on the cusp of claiming his first major, but he did enough to build confidence in his Melbourne Park campaign. Albot had ended the run of Australian wildcard Aleksandar Vukic earlier on Wednesday, winning their second-round match 6-4, 7-6 , 6-4.
He also pushed Federer to a fifth-set tiebreak in the third round of the 2020 Australian Open on Rod Laver Arena, but on Wednesday night he could not produce similar heroics.He dropped serve at the beginning of the match and while he immediately broke back, it was Zverev who took the contest by the scruff of the neck.
