Thiago Agustin Tirante is featuring in the main draw of the Australian Open for the first time in his career, with the world number 103's only previous Grand Slam appearance having come at the French Open.
The Argentinian has won six Challenger Tour titles and appeared in two ATP 1000 events in 2025, both on hard courts.

The 29-year-old Australian will have the support of the crowd behind him, and having reached the quarter-finals of the recent Adelaide International, looks in good shape to see off his opponent here.
