The Italian is having a fantastic Australian Open where he has defeated Van de Zandschulp, De Jong, Baez, Khachanov, and Rublev. Although his most important victory and surely the one of his career has been defeating Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, in a match in which the young Italian was clearly dominant.

In this edition he started winning against Atmane, who retired in the fourth set. In the second round he had a hard time, as he lost the first two sets against the Finnish Ruusuvuori, but he turned it around. He had an easier time defeating Auger Aliassime or Nuno Borges, although the Portuguese won a set. In the quarterfinals he faced a real battle against the Polish Hurkacz where the Russian won in five sets and almost 4 hours of match. In the semifinals he also had to pull epic to defeat Zverev.
