Great win for Kyle in tough conditions and a great chance to get to the quarters, Ostapenko loses meaning only 2 former slam winners left Sharapova and Kerber who face each other next so then there will be one former champ left!
Mens Top Half - Round 4 (1) Nadal V (24) Schwartzman (10) Carreno Busta V Cilic (6) (3) Dimitrov V (17) Kyrgios Edmund V Seppi Ladies Bottom Half - Round 4 Martic V Mertens (Q) Allertova V Svitolina (4) Kontaveit (32) V Suarez Navarro Rybarikova (19) V Wozniacki (2) Fallen Seeds 7 - Jelena Ostapenko 30 - Kiki Bertens 15 - Jo Wilfred Tsonga 23 - Gilles Muller 28 - Damir Dzhumur 30 - Andrey Rublev This post has been edited by Mikee1981: 19th January 2018, 02:43 PM |

Nadal has Schwartzman next, meaning he will have played 15 matches in a row against non top 25 opponents, a new record.

Maria Sharapova was blown away by a stunning Angelique Kerber performance in round three of the Australian Open.

Kerber looking quite good and looking like Pliskova going through quite quietly not seen any buzz about her at all.

I didn't release Edmund himself had got so far in a previous Slam (although I checked and it was actually 2016
 )Amazing that he's in the quarters, I'm all for a new British #1 this year!

Really pleased for him, seems to have come out of nowhere in this Slam very much like how Konta did back in 2016.
Hoping he faces Kyrgios in the Quarters, he'll have much more of a chance of progressing. |

Really pleased for Edmund, he seems to have really worked on his game over the break. He lost against some big players last year in really tight matches, so who knows maybe this year could be his breakthrough.
I still think a fit and firing Murray is a much better player, but I have no idea if he will ever return to his best. Think tennis could do with some new stars though... |

What a fantastic tournament, Kyle Edmund has had. Played brilliantly in his fourth round match. Looks like this year could be his breakthrough. Who knows? Maybe getting into the Top20 in the rankings. He could be seeded for the French Open.

Think tennis could do with some new stars though... Yeah it definitely does, it's been crying out for some young "new Federer" to break through for years now. Although I personally love the fact Fed & Nadal are still winning Slams but there's no youngsters even remotely close to challenging for the big things yet. Stan has been about the only other player outside the big 4 to win a few & he's older than most of them himself! |

I believe that makes Chung the first South Korean to reach an quarter-final of a Grand Slam.
