Odysseas Geladaris began his Australian Open Juniors campaign with a straight-sets victory, defeating Greek-Australian Evan Vassiliadis 6–0, 7–6 (2) in the opening round of qualifying.
The 17-year-old Greek player, ranked No. 77, advanced to the second qualifying round and is now one win away from securing a place in the main draw at Melbourne Park.
Geladaris, who also competed at the J300 tournament in Traralgon last week, is making his debut at a junior Grand Slam.
The Australian Open junior qualifiers are being held in Traralgon, where Geladaris will next face Ireland’s Eoghan Jennings (No. 133).
