The Australian Open fourth round matches have provided some thrilling entertainment with Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz now on a collision course in the last eight after their respective victories.
Defending champion Jannik Sinner returns on Monday, while the home crowd will be pumped to support Alex de Minaur later on in the night session.
Jack Draper departed on Sunday due to injury and the brilliance of Alcaraz, while Djokovic sparked a fresh controversy by refusing to do a post-match interview with an Australian broadcaster due to what he deemed “offensive” comments made towards him and Serbian fans.
Monday will be an opportunity for the great underdogs of this Grand Slam to thrive even more as qualifier Learner Tien is back and lucky loser Eva Lys returns to court.
Here’s today’s order of play and the key matches to look out for:
