Tiafoe Aims for Redemption in Brisbane Opener

Frances Tiafoe is set to commence his 2026 campaign at the Brisbane International, with his first-round opponent being the Australian Aleksandar Vukic. The American's previous season, 2025, saw him struggle, ending with a 26-23 win-loss record, his worst since 2020.

Vukic also experienced a difficult year in 2025, concluding with a 15-29 record, indicating more losses than wins. Their past encounters are evenly split, with each player securing one victory, making their upcoming match a potentially close contest.

Tiafoe enters the tournament on a five-match losing streak and has recently parted ways with his team. Despite a less-than-stellar record in the southern hemisphere this decade, he has a better chance at victory over Vukic based on their respective 2025 performances.
