Deniz & Isaac Step Onto the Big Stage at the AO! 

Big news from Melbourne Park!

Today, two of our favourite people — Deniz and Isaac — took to the court at the Australian Open’s 1 Point Qualifier, and the spotlight couldn’t have been brighter.

At 5:30 PM on Court 6, they stepped into a vibrant mix of pros, coaches, and celebrities, ready to test themselves against elite competition:

  • Deniz faced Tristan Boyer, the American up-and-comer currently ranked #106 in the world — a formidable challenge and an exciting match-up.

  • Isaac took on Laura Pigossi, a seasoned Brazilian pro who’s been ranked as high as #100 on the WTA Tour. A tough draw, but a golden opportunity.

And yes — Court 6 delivered the full AO experience: chair umpire, ball kids, Hawk-Eye line calling, a raucous crowd… the whole enchilada.

True Wildcards

  • Isaac was invited last week, a testament to his work ethic and rising playing level.

  • Deniz earned her place on the day, winning a fan entry draw on-site — and making the absolute most of it. A true wildcard moment!

Fought Hard. Held Their Own

Alas, neither came away with the win — but their tennis was the real winner today.

To step onto a Grand Slam court and take on world-ranked opponents is no small feat.

Well done, Deniz and Isaac!!

Issac, Coco, Deniz

“I might’ve spent more time waving to the crowd and posing for cameras than actually playing tennis — nailed a serve, then totally shanked the backhand   And yes — Coco Gauff was watching. Still not over it.” — Deniz
