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!

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

Nadal always seems to get the easy route ...

 

Zverev lost to Chung ... Halep won 15/13 in third against Davis !!

Zverev still yet to make the 2nd week of a slam then....

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.

Who was the last non Murray British male to get to the last 16 of a Slam?

Who was the last non Murray British male to get to the last 16 of a Slam?

Kyle Edmund US Open 2015.

Kyle through to the quarters with a 4 set win over Seppi to face either Dmitrov or Kyrgios ... other quarter Nadal V Cilic

I didn't release Edmund himself had got so far in a previous Slam (although I checked and it was actually 2016 :P )

 

Amazing that he's in the quarters, I'm all for a new British #1 this year! :D

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.

Kyle will move up to 35 in world new high for him

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.

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!

Thiem out and Djokovic 2 sets and a break down to Chung

Chung takes out Djkovic in 3 sets 7/6(7/4) 7/5 7/6(7/3), Nice to see Berdych playing well again

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