Alex de Minaur has never made it past the fourth round at the Australian Open, but he'll have the opportunity to change that on Monday. In his way, though, is rising star Alex Michelsen. The 20-year-old American upset Stefanos Tsitsipas in the opening round before defeating both James McCabe and Karen Khachanov in straight sets.

Alex de Minaur, the world No. 8, and Nick Kyrgios, who is back after a two-year battle with knee and wrist injuries, are the headliners for their country at Melbourne Park. Kyrgios emceed the night session on John Cain Arena Monday, before De Minaur headlines Rod Laver Arena, the pantheon of Australian tennis Tuesday night.

Alex de Minaur has been Australia's great men's grand slam hope for a few years now. Never has he looked more ready to step to the plate.

Alex de Minaur has entered this year's Australian Open as a top-8 seed for the first time in his career. After reaching the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open last season, the Aussie will look to go deep at his home tournament.
