MELBOURNE, Jan 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Learner Tien got his name because his mum was a teacher and the rising star of United States tennis still lives at home even as he reached a Grand Slam milestone. Tien's mother Huyen, a retired teacher, and the rest of the family have played a central part in his fast rise to prominence. Tien suffered a nosebleed early on against Medvedev in their last-16 match, the result he said of a dry nose. "I feel like I have been playing a little bit better match by match, and, you know, each match I'm making a little jump in how well I'm playing, how comfortable I feel," he said. "Right now I'm feeling better than I have all week, all year, so I'm really looking forward to it."
