Auger-Aliassime was also two sets and match point up on eventual finalist Medvedev in the Australian Open quarter-final.

Another young talent announcing himself on the big stage is 18-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, who became the youngest player ever to win an ATP 500 title in Rio on Sunday.

The victory allowed the young Spaniard to make his top 20 debut, younger than Nadal himself was when he achieved the same feat.

And Toni Nadal tipped the teenager to become world No 1 in the future, adding: “He is a clear contender for No 1.

“For now, he is not overwhelmed by what happens on the court. And that’s a lot.”
