Presented by BARILLA Masters Of Pasta: New York Times journalist Ben Rothenberg joins Ubitennis to reflect back on a day of shocks in the men’s draw at the Australian Open.
Six-time champion Novak Djokovic was sent packing by a sensational Hyeon Chung, who became the first Korean to reach a grand slam quarter-final. Meanwhile, Dominic Thiem went out to world No.97 Tennys Sandgren. A 26-year-old player who had never won a grand slam match until this tournament.
It was a much calmer day for the women’s seeds. World No.1 Simona Halep breezed past Naomi Osaka and Karolina Pliskova edged compatriot Barbora Strycova in three. Elsewhere, former champion Angelique Kerber required over two hours to reach her first major quarter-final since 2016.
