What were the Australian Open qualifying results on Wednesday?

Alexander Blockx, Dino Prizmic, Nicolai Budkov Kjaer, and Rafael Jodar, who all competed at the Next Gen ATP Finals presented by PIF last month, moved to within one victory of qualifying for the Australian Open main draw on Wednesday.

Blockx won an ATP Challenger in Canberra last week and has yet to drop a set in qualifying. The 20-year-old Belgian defeated Alex Molcan 6-1, 6-1 to move closer to competing in the main draw of the major for the first time.

Croatian Prizmic, who won a set against Novak Djokovic in the main draw at the AO in 2024, downed Gustavo Heide 7-5, 6-2, while Norwegian Budkov Kjaer beat Australian James McCabe 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(6). Budkov Kjaer has never competed in the main draw at a major.

Spaniard Jodar won three ATP Challenger titles in the second half of 2025, climbing from outside the Top 900 in the PIF ATP Rankings to a career-high No. 150. The 19-year-old brushed past Luxembourg’s Chris Rodesch 7-6(10), 6-3.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert, who won the Australian Open doubles title in 2019 with Nicolas Mahut, eliminated Gonzalo Bueno 7-5, 6-2. Coleman Wong was a quarter-finalist at the tour-level event in Hong Kong last week and maintained his good form with a 7-6(7), 6-0 win against Pablo Llamas Ruiz.

Luca Van Assche moved past Daniil Glinka 6-3, 6-0, while Dusan Lajovic overcame Murphy Cassone 7-5, 6-3. The 35-year-old Serbian Lajovic reached the fourth round in 2021.
