Kim and Chris are back to wrap up the third round action from Melbourne Park as we find out which players have made their way through to the second week of the Australian Open.
With top seed Iga Swiatek out at the hands of rising Czech star Linda Noskova and in form Grigor Dimitrov falling to the relatively unknown Portuguese Nuno Borges, it was a round of some surprises. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic got his campaign back on track with a straight sets win over Etcheverrry (and becoming the first player to play 100 matches at all 4 slams in the process) and Aryna Sabalenka opened her own bakery with a dominant double bagel against Lesia Tsurenko.
They also discuss Britain’s Cam Norrie getting the better of Casper Ruud to make the 4th round for the first time down under, Qinwen Zheng coming through an all Chinese showcase on Rod Laver Arena and Arthur Cazaux proving the wildcard doubters wrong by storming into the second week with a comfortable straight sets win over Griekspoor.
