The opening match set the tone for the evening when tennis coach Anders Schneiter knocked out men’s world No. 34 Corentin Moutet.
The surprises continued to unfold across the rapid-fire format as fellow players provided enthusiastic support from the side of the field and the crowd rallied behind the underdogs.
Garland, who lost in the first round of the singles qualifiers in Melbourne, seemed more stunned than anyone else when she defeated former world number three Maria Sakkari and Donna Vekic, who reached the 2024 Wimbledon semi-finals.
Meanwhile, Smith did not need to hit the ball against Sinner after the men’s world number two failed to land his serve – and the professionals were only given one chance to get it right.
The matter is not over yet, after Anisimova defeated Spaniard Pedro Martinez, ranked 71, to win the prize money.
“Coming in tonight I would have been happy to win by just one point,” Smith said.
“I was very nervous but I enjoyed being here, it was a great experience.”
Elsewhere, Sakkari ended Alcaraz’s display after the top-ranked player scored a drop attempt.
Meanwhile, six-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek beat the men’s world No. 22 and 31 in Flavio Copoli and Frances Tiafoe respectively before losing to Martinez.
