Australian Tennis Stars De Minaur and Popyrin Triumph at Wimbledon First Round

Australian tennis players Alex de Minaur and Alexei Popyrin began their Wimbledon 2024 campaigns on a winning note, overcoming tough challenges in the first round.

De Minaur faced compatriot James Duckworth in a hard-fought match that tested his resilience on the grass courts. With former champion Lleyton Hewitt watching from the sidelines, De Minaur secured a straight-sets victory, winning three tie-breaks in a closely contested encounter.

Popyrin will face a challenging test in his next match against Argentine Tomas Martin Etcheverry, setting the stage for an exciting clash between the two competitors.
