Why did a Portuguese soccer player’s signature celebration take over the Australian Open? And how can we get it to stop?

The former No. 1’s first-round win over Nikoloz Basilashvili on Tuesday was his 49th career win at the Happy Slam.

On Tuesday, Andy Murray upended Nikoloz Basilashvili for the second time in a week, while Felix Auger-Aliassime avoided crashing out by mounting a comeback against Emil Ruusuvuori.

Elsewhere, American rising stars Sebastian Korda and Brandon Nakashima both take on Top 16 seeds.

Murray’s determination is an inspiration, in victory or defeat. At the tour level, those results were nearly equal in 2021: 15 wins against 14 losses.

In front of his home fans, the 25-year-old Kokkinakis outlasted Arthur Rinderknech 6-7 (6), 7-6 (5), 6-3.

The three-time Grand Slam champion is into the final of Sydney this week, his first ATP final since 2019.

The Brit and the Czech gave viewers a glance of "Australia's most iconic bar."

The three-time Grand Slam champion and former No. 1 is a five-time finalist at the first major of the year.
