Aleksandar Vukic has set up a dream showcourt date with champion Carlos Alcaraz on Wimbledon's opening day.
Marathon men Vukic and fellow Sydneysider Jordan Thompson delivered classic, battling five-set wins to advance to the second round, while Daria Saville made it a hat-trick of first-round triumphs for the Australian contingent.
Thompson set the tone on Monday when he became the first Aussie through to the second round after coming from two sets behind to beat Russian Pavel Kotov in four hours, six minutes.
