Schwartzman has entered the first Grand Slam of 2023 in poor condition since suffered a muscle injury last week and had to leave for the Auckland contest.

The 24-year-old Wolf is playing his first Australian Open, but last season picked up valuable wins over Denmark’s Holger Rune and Canada’s Denis Shapovalov.
The first set was decided in just 26 minutes with an erratic Schwartzman, who improved his serve a bit in the second set. However, the American broke his serve in the ninth game (they were 4-4) and won the second set, a situation that was repeated in the third in the same match.
Wolf will now play against his compatriot Michael Mmoh who created an upset by beating German Alexander Zverer 6-7 (7-1), 6-4, 6-3 and 6-2.
Now The only Argentinian who continues at the Open is Francisco CerĂșndolo, who will play tomorrow in the second round against the Canadian FĂ©lix Auger-Aliassime.
