The Australian Open is over for the locals. Some Australians impressed and others didn't live up to expectations. Here's how we graded them.

Jim Courier couldn't help but take a cheeky dig at Alex de Minaur over fiancee Katie Boulter's absence from his loss to Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open quarter-finals on Wednesday night. De Minaur was blown off the court in a masterclass from Sinner, with the Italian winning 6-3 6-2 6-1.

A night that promised so much for Alex de Minaur ended with another trip back to the drawing board following a loss that will require some serious soul-searching.

Alex de Minaur went viral on Wednesday after destroying a tennis critic with an epic reply.

Alex de Minaur noticed one very strong comment made about his performance versus Jannik Sinner and he wasn't interested in letting it slide. On Wednesday, the home favorite player exited the Australian Open in the quarterfinal after the No. 1 seed handed him a 6-3 6-2 6-1 loss. Now, the Italian leads their head-to-head 10-0.

Sinner broke the 25-year-old’s serve on six occasions and only faced one break on his own, which he repelled, with De Minaur landing just 51 per cent of his first serves and being on the wrong end of a lopsided 27-10 winners count.

The last quarterfinal of the 2025 Australian Open gave Jannik Sinner a show on the iconic Rod Laver Arena. The world No.1 demolished local idol Alex de Minaur in three sets and reached the semifinals without wasting too much energy either.
