Dane Sweeny reaches US Open third round after upset victory

Australian tennis player Dane Sweeny reached the third round of the US Open after defeating 13th-seeded Lorenzo Musetti in a four-set match (3-6, 6-1, 6-2, 6-2). The victory marked a significant career milestone for the 25-year-old, who entered the tournament ranked world No. 123 and earned approximately $A406,870 for his performance. Sweeny's run ended when he lost to 21st seed Luciano Darderi.

Former world No. 33 John Millman, currently a coach at Brisbane Boys’ College, praised Sweeny’s performance and highlighted the school's tennis program. Millman described the institution as having “the best tennis program in the country,” noting its recent success in GPS and Queensland premierships as the team prepares for the Gallipoli Youth Cup in Melbourne.
