Given all the talk about Rafael Nadal’s bid for his 21st Grand Slam and the fiasco around Novak Djokovic’s deportation, the Australian Open 2022 has been full of instance. However, away from the spotlight, American tennis player Maxime Cressy has quietly been having a very good run in the tournament. Currently ranked number 70 in the world, Cressy recently talked about still not having a sponsorship deal.

The 24-year-old has seen a sudden resurgence in his performances and his career. Nowadays, upcoming players usually bag sponsorship deals when they begin winning matches on the big stage. Interestingly, Maxime doesn’t have any yet and has different plans about the same. He spoke on this subject and stated [https://twitter.com/fiorinoluca/status/1484835375042412545?s=11], “Not yet. I wait until I have a major breakthrough and I have the leverage to negotiate, especially during the COVID. I prefer really breaking through to the top 50, top 10 and then I negotiate.” Reflecting on his performances so far, Cressy played his first-round match against American star John Isner. He shocked a majority of people by ending up on the winning side. After over four hours, he won the match in five sets. Following that, he was up against Tomas Machac and won the match eventually in four sets. That victory helped him register his best performance in a Grand Slam by reaching the third round at the Australian Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/australian-open-2022/].

In the next match, he will be facing arguably one of the best tennis players on a hardcourt, Daniil Medvedev, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-medvedev/] and it will definitely be a tough task for the American.

<h2><strong>Australian Open: Latest News, Results and Records</strong></h2>
The Australian Open is the youngest of all the Grand Slams, having first started in 1905.

The tournament holds the record for the highest attendance at a Grand Slam event, where 743,667 people attended during the 2018 edition of the Australian Open. It also has the honor of being the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat.

There are three main courts, the Rod Laver Arena, the Melbourne Arena and the Margaret Court Arena. Aside from that, they have courts 7 to 15 and even court 19 and 20. The tournament first became open to all from 1969 onwards, a year after the remaining 3 did so.

<h2><strong>Records</strong></h2>
<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> is the most successful player of the Australian Open in the Open era. The Serbian star has clinched eight Australian Open titles.

In the women's side of the game, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/serena-williams/">Serena Williams</a> is the most successful player with seven titles to her credit. Again, this was set in the Open era. Overall, Williams is still four behind tennis legend Margaret Court.

The youngest winner in the men's singles game was Australian player Ken Rosewall. Meanwhile, on the women's side, it was Martina Hingis. The players were 18 years, 2 months and 16 years, 4 months old respectively.

With regard to the oldest players, Rosewall bagged this crown at the aged 37 years and 2 months. However, if <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/">Roger Federer</a> wins the Australian Open, he could overtake Rosewall. In the women's side of the game, Thelma Long was the oldest winner at 35 years and 8 months.
<h2>Australian Open 2021 Plans</h2>
The two Grand Slams held after the Australian Open 2020 saw major changes than usual. The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/us-open-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">US Open 2020</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/french-open-2020/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">French Open 2020</a> were held inside a bio-secure bubble on account of the complications arising due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The US Open 2020 was held behind closed doors, while the French Open 2020 saw just 1000 spectators allowed inside the Roland Garros fields.

Australian Open organizers are planning to allow 50 percent of the seats to be filled by fans. This is subject to government clearance. They also <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/that-wont-happen-australian-open-2021-proposes-to-relax-strict-quarantine-measures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">plan</a> on introducing relaxations on a lot of the quarantine restrictions the players had in Paris and New York.

While the 14-day quarantine will be there on arrival at Melbourne Park, there is expected to be some freedom for players and their team members.

Australian Open 2021 is expected to be held from January 18-31, 2021.
