This win against the reigning champion was labeled as the biggest and most astonishing victory of De Minaur\u2019s career, marking Djokovic\u2019s first loss in Australia since 2018.<\/p>\n<p>With his remarkable performances, De Minaur now sets his sights on the United Cup championship match against Poland, following their 3-0 sweep against France on the same day. As the anticipation builds, tennis enthusiasts around the world eagerly await the outcome of the deciding mixed doubles and witness whether De Minaur\u2019s dominance will continue in Sunday\u2019s title clash.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FotoJet-100-3-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"David Warner\u2019s Participation in PSL 9 Remains Uncertain\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">David Warner\u2019s Participation in PSL 9 Remains Uncertain<\/h5>\n<p>Warner retires from red-ball cricket after emotional Pakistan Test.
