Federer through Chung retired in 2nd set trailing 6/1 5/2

Was banned for 9 months for testing positive for a banned stimulant drug..... McHugh is first Brit junior boy to reach a semi final since...

Cilic defeats Kyle 6/2 7/6(7/4) 6/2 ... at the start of the Aus Open I did not expect there to be any Brits left in the 2nd week, with Murray out and Konta off form I certainly didn't expect Kyle to get to 2nd week never mind passed Anderson, hoping this will be his breakthrough moment like konta a couple of years ago. Cilic will move top 3 with that victory a career high

Caroline Wozniacki defeated Elise Mertens 6/3 7/6(7/2) where she will face Simona Halep who defeats Angelique Kerber 6/3 4/6 9/7 ... Its a final not to be missed as one will win their first slam and also the world number 1 is at stake.. win it win it all Ladies Singles Final 2018 (1) Simona Halep V Caroline Wozniacki (2)

Same as above when 'Legends' started I got chills.... both Legends and Crazy sound good and with a bit of tweeking could be really impacting on the night with good staging ...for me 1 - Asanda 2 - RAYA 3 - GoldStone $ - SuRie 5 - Liam Tamne 6 - Jaz Ellington

Nice to see Serena play the Fed Cup, gives her some match tests. Kerber seems to be in serious form so far this year and could be the winner come the weekend she faces Halep who quite easily beat Pliskova...The last times that Serena was absent from the Aus Open two Belgiums won the title... Clistjers and Henin... we still have a Belgium in the mix Mertens who is in good form Added the juniors quarter finals in... McHugh flying the flag for Britain.

Kyle will move upto about 26th in the world after that stunning victory. There is a Social media storm brewing with Sandgren he has deleted 18 months worths of tweets and retweets which showed support for alt right, racist, homophobic and transphobic remarks and retweets of those who are against trans, not pretty stuff to be honest and of course you cant delete these things screen shots where already made.

Soooo glad to be proven wrong in my prediction.... Kyle Edmund beats Dmitrov in 4 sets to make Semi Finals

I think Chung could be a massive threat to Federer if he gets passed Sandgren which he should do.. Top half I can only see Nadal reaching the final, going for semi's Dmitrov V Nadal, Chung V Federer Ladies Halep keeps on about her ankle and injury but if that bad she would of lost by now after being run ragged by previous opponents although Osaka didn't do enough of that today, I think the womens is harder to predict but I think it be Kerber V Pliskova, Wozniacki V Mertens ... probably be Svitolina but Mertens been in good form recently and defended Hobart title

Chung takes out Djkovic in 3 sets 7/6(7/4) 7/5 7/6(7/3), Nice to see Berdych playing well again Mens Quarter Finals (1) Nadal V Cilic (6) (3) Dimitrov V Edmund Sandgren V Chung (19) Berdych V Federer (2) Ladies Quarter Finals (1) Halep V Pliskova (6) (21) Kerber V Keys (17) Mertens V Svitolina (4) Suarez Navarro V Wozniacki (2) Mens Doubles Quarter Finals (1) Kubot & Melo V McLachlan & Struff Daniell & Inglot V Pavic & Marach (7) Cabal & Farah (11) V Groth & Hewitt (6) Bryan & Bryan V (15) Matkowski & Qureshi Ladies Doubles Quarter Finals (1) Chan & Sestomo Hlavackova V Babos & Mladenovic (5) (4) Safarova & Strycova V Hseih & Peng (8) Begu & Niculescu (10) V Brady & King (6) Dabrowski & Xu V Makarova & Vesnina (2)

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

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

Nadal always seems to get the easy route ... Zverev lost to Chung ... Halep won 15/13 in third against Davis !!

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!

'Dancing' for me, I still dont rate 'Into The Blue' and barely listen to it

Kerber V Sharapova a stand out for me in this half, the mens side on both half of draws really doesn't get too interesting until the 4th round and quarters Mens Bottom Half - 3rd Round (5) Thiem V Mannarino (26) Marterer V Sandgren (14) Djokovic V Ramos-Vinolas (21) Chung V Zverev (4) Benneteau V Fognini (25) (19) Berdych V Del Potro (12) Fucsovics V Kicker (29) Gasquet V Federer (2) Ladies Top Half - 3rd Round (1) Halep V Davis (18) Barty V Osaka Pera V Strycova (20) (29) Safarova V Pliskova (6) Hsieh V Radwanska (26) (21) Kerber V Sharapova Bogdan V Keys (17) Sasnovich V Garcia (8) Fallen Seeds 7 - David Goffin 9 - Stan Wawrinka 13 - Sam Querrey 3 - Garbine Muguruza 9 - Johanna Konta 14 - Anastasjia Sevatsova 16 - Elena Vesnina 28 - Mirjana Lucic-Baroni

Konta, Sevatsova, Muguruza, Querrey all out

Some fascinating ladies matches Mertens was 5-0 down to Gavrilova and took the set 7-5 followed by the match she saved 8 set points!! and watch out for Kostyuk just 15 years old come through qualies and into third round big name for future ... Tsonga V Kyrgios should be a cracker of a match bound to be Rod Laver night match on Friday, Kyle got perfect chance here to get to quarters, Cant see anyone bothering Nadal until quarters.

Kyle came through in an hour and half 6/2 6/2 6/4 a good win against Istomin who shocked Djokovic last year, Nadal continues to breeze through in straight sets, Wozniacki survived a massive scare she was down 5/1 40/15 in 3rd and came back to win and same for Tsonga down 5/2 in 5th and pulled it back to get through

Heather lost in 2 tight sets 7/5 7/6 (8/6) she did have set point in 2nd set but went long, the match lasted longer then Federers 3 set win over Bedene. The lower ranked Zverev retired from his match and Bautista Agut went out as well. Kvitova went out to Petkovic in 3 sets, after Petkovic leading 4/0 at one point Kvitova came back but lost it 10/8!
