Arthur Cazaux deprived of third round of the Australian Open by the Scot Jacob Fearnley

We had to be wary of this Scotsman (23 years old, 92nd) with the reputation of executioner of French people acquired last year. At the Rennes Challenger, this former student of Texas Christian University (TCU), for five years, had beaten five Blues in a row, from Benoît Paire in the first round to Quentin Halys in the final, including Adrian Mannarino. Two weeks later, in Orléans, it repeated, or almost, with a four out of five tricolors for a double in D2 which placed it in the top 100 at the end of September, before concluding the 2024 season with a record of 43 victories.
