Sascha is trying to finally have a deep run at a slam. The 21-year-old has been extremely successful in winning “other” top events (see titles), but it’s time for him to make a move and win a major. The German had a good start in the first round after he defeated Aljaz Bedene 6-4 6-1 6-4

Ranked no.155, the Australian is having the tournament of his life after he defeated Jack Sock 4-6 6-3 6-2 6-2 and Gilles Simon 2-6 6-4 4-6 7-68 6-4 after saving 4 matches points.
