Australian Open: Breaking News
Louk Sorensen claims first Irish grand slam win in open era at Australian Open
¢ ‘It’s the biggest achievement of my career so far’¢ Sorensen makes history with first-round victoryIt may be stretching things a little too far to suggest that Louk Sorensen’s victory here in the first round of the men’s singles today will have them dancing in the streets of Dublin. The 25-year-old can go unnoticed in the country’s capital but there is no doubt that his 6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1 win over Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei will go down as a historic moment for Irish tennis.Though Matt Doyle represented Ireland with aplomb in the Davis Cup in the 1980s and reached the last 16 of the US Open in 1982, he was American-born and, according to officials, played the grand-slam events under an American flag. Ireland almost had two men in the main draw but Conor Niland was beaten in the last round of qualifying so the last Irishman to even play a grand-slam match was Sorensen’s father, Sean, at Wimbledon in 1980 and Louk’s win was the first by an Irishman at a grand-slam event in the open era. “I’m feeling great,” the world No284 said. “It’s the biggest achievement of my career so far, but let’s just see how it goes in the next round,” he said.Doyle became a national hero in Ireland when he beat Eliot Teltscher in a Davis Cup World Group tie in 1983 against a United States team that included John McEnroe, then the Wimbledon champion. Sorensen’s father also played in that match and is now the captain of Ireland’s Davis Cup team, something that may prove to be even more significant come July, for Ireland and Britain could find themselves playing each other, depending on the results of their first-round matches in March.
