Robin Haase defeated Andrej Martin 6–0, 4–6, 7–5 in the first qualifying round of the Australian Open on hard court. The Dutch veteran's victory came after Martin claimed the second set to level the match, but Haase regrouped decisively in the decider to secure his progression. The win marked a significant turnaround from the opening set, where Haase's dominance was absolute, suggesting Martin struggled to find rhythm early before mounting a brief comeback. Haase's ability to recover from dropping the second set proved decisive as he advanced through qualifying en route to the main draw.
