and kyrgios's run come to an end at the hands of Andreas Seppi, not before Kyrgios cops and code violation and a point deduction

and Cilic bows out to Dan Evans

and Tomic's opponent looks so old, he looks like a coach more than a player

Wow!

Surprising.

Here's an update from yesterday's and this morning's matches at the Australian Open.

First of all, we got a huge upset as Denis Istomin defeated Nole 7-6(8), 5-7, 2-6, 7-6(5), 6-4.


What a great performance from Denis Istomin, who played the match of his life.


He did a great job of coming through in the crucial moments of the match and showed a lot of composure.


On the other hand, this is a big disappointment for Nole, who saw his quest for a 7th Australian Open title come to an early end.


He wasn't able to find an answer to Denis Istomin's outstanding play.

We got another upset on the women's side as veteran Mirjana Lucic-Baroni defeated Aga Radwanska 6-3, 6-2.





Things were much more orderly in most of the other matches as Serena Williams, Rafa, Caroline, Johanna Konta, Dominika Cibulkova, Milos Raonic, Richie, Dr. Ivo and David Goffin won their matches in straight sets, while Gael, David Ferrer and Grigor Dimitrov won their matches in four sets.

















Lastly we got another big upset in men's doubles as Sam Querrey and Donald Young defeated Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares 6-3, 7-6(5).

So that's the story from Day 4 in Melbourne


where we saw one of the biggest upsets in recent time with Denis Istomin defeating Nole in five sets.

Coming later today on Day 5, we'll have some intriguing looking matches in the afternoon session as Stan will take on Viktor Troicki at Rod Laver Arena, while Jo-Wilfried will face Jack Sock at Margaret Court Arena and Andy Murray will play Sam Querrey at Hisense Arena. Reigning women's singles champion Angelique Kerber, Genie, Venus Williams and Bernard Tomic will also be in action in the afternoon session. Then later on in the prime time session, we'll get another intriguing looking match as Fed will take on Tomas Berdych at Rod Laver Arena. Plus Kei Nishikori and Garbine Muguruza will also be in action at Margaret Court Arena.

did anyone watch the dimitrov gasquet match?

It was on at "a reasonably good time" for both european (lunchtime) and American audiences (it was breakfast on the west coast of America)

EDIT and less than 24 hours later, they have alexander zverev's brother take on another top seed, andy murray

Mischa Zverev is 10 years older than Alexander Zverev

EDIT and Mischa Zverev has upset Andy Murray in the Round of 16 to make the quarters!

the top 2 seeds do not make it past the first week!

NikNak

Top seeds dropping like flies these past few days.

Kerber lost too.

Kerber Loses To Vandeweghe

No, I didn't see it.

Horrible losses by Andy & Caroline. At least Monfils is still in the tournament. Tough loss by Nishikori as well.

CONDEMNED666

usually theres a bit of a lull at the start of the second week of the tournament, after all the locals are eliminated from the singles draw and how people process the top seeds getting picked off, we have to wait until the second men's singles semi final when the tournament picks up again

Monfils got off to a horrible start. It was very late on the West Coast, so I missed the set he won. Hopefully Raonic will have some success vs. Nadal tomorrow.
