Mark Edmondson (back in 1976) is still to this day the last Aussie male to win the Australian Open. Since then none of McNamara, Cash, Rafter, Hewitt, Philapoussis, Kyrgios, De Minaur etc could achieve it. Wouldnt feel too bad though, by comparison the last Englishman to win Wimbledon was way back in 1936, Fred Perry, 88 years ago.

Swiatek and Rybakina being feature here as main upsets in the tournament's history(!) together with the likes of Navratilova, Capriati, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic seemed rather odd IMO. They are good players but nowhere near to the status of the others, mostly considering how inconsistent the current WTA tour is

To be honest, Rafa's losses before 2009 at AO were hardly upsets. I mean, IT was before he fully developer as a hard court player at the major level. Both od his losses in 2007 and 2008 came before his first hard court Gs final and also correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe Rafa did not even beat a top 10 player at AO before 2009.

@@malcolmnorman5694 it was an upset because it was on clay and at Roland Garros, a best of five set tournament, but one thing that was an Achilles' heel for Nadal is any player with a huge forehand.

Wait, you have stuff from Swiatek and Rybakina, but nothing from Serena or Graff or any other true legends when they were defeated in stunning fashion by some up and comer (including when Serena managed to defeat Graf one time)? Not to say that Swiatek and Rybakina aren’t good, it’s just that they’re too young in their careers for anything to be of a “greatest upset in history” status yet.
