    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.

    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.
