A piece on Sorensen for our Irish friends: (From the BBC).
Ireland was celebrating its first victory in Grand Slam singles in 25 years as Louk Sorensen beat Taiwan's Lu Yen-Hsun at the Australian Open.
Sorensen, 25, had already done what no other Irish tennis player since Matt Doyle back in 1985 when he made it through the qualifying event.
"I don't know what's going on right now. I've suddenly got so many friend requests on Facebook," he said.
"I'm feeling great, it's the biggest achievement of my career so far."
Before Tuesday's breakthrough win, the 25-year-old Sorensen was best known as the son of Sean Sorensen, the current captain of the Ireland Davis Cup team, who played in the first round of Wimbledon in 1977, losing to Rod Laver.
Louk was raised in Germany and although his parents now live in Dublin, Sorensen remains in Stuttgart, training and playing in the German tennis league's third division.
"The money's good," he said. "And I can be the number one player [in Ireland]."
Sorensen has won tournaments on the Challenger and Futures Circuit but had to go through the qualifying competition for the Australian Open because his ranking of 284 was too low for an automatic place.
He is the first man from the Republic of Ireland to reach the main draw of a Grand Slam since Doyle lost in the first round in Melbourne in 1985.
