This victory has inspired the national player’s showing at the Australian Open. Agut, the tournament’s 21st seed, is a formidable competitor ranked higher than Shang Juncheng. However, Shang started strong by taking the first set. The second and third sets were closely contested, each player winning one, making the score 2-1.
