That is the rally of the tournament so far, Unbelievable from both players!

 

[Vince Evert]

Yes it would be nice if Australian Open TV could upload just that one game alone in full, you know, the 3rd set 11-minute game with Sinner serving where the match was locked at 1 set all and 1 game all. It was a momentum swinger, AYE

So proud of my Italian Lorenzo, he has really found his form and game at the AO! Lorenzo Forza!

This is why Jannik is soo clutch when down, he has 'ice in his veins' never panics and just believes in himself and his shots

i'll drop them a line now over on ytube and ask if they can upload just that one game. It was magnificent tennis.

Indeed, it was a keeper!

Monfils and Shelton are one set all, Monfils just took the 2nd set 76(3), Shelton 1st set 76(3)
Shelton now leading 2 sets to 1 over Monfils, 3rd set 76(2)

Gill Gross just tweeted,
Can't ever recall seeing soo many players in the 4th round come into their matches so clearly depleted from heavy week one milage.
Draper Rune, Davidovich Fokina and Tien, as we all know, its part of the deal at slams.

Well Tien did play qualies so I might give him a pass Gill, next time he will be more qualified

Gael Monfils retired in the 2nd game of the fourth set

Shelton to face Lorenzo Sonego in the QF

BTW,
Jannik Sinner becomes the youngest man to win 18 consecutive GS HC matches since John McEnroe in 1981
Jannik Forza!

This last round of 16 mens match on RLA is a No Contest,
Michelsen who previously defeated Tsitsipas and KK, is just a spectator on court against Alex De Minaur
Alex won the 1st set 60 and he leads Michelsen 2-0 in the 2nd set, Michelsen seems overwhelmed by the situation.
Praise the Lord, Michelsen finally wins a game!
Alex de Minaur should go onto win the match comfortably.

Ben's presser...

 

[Vince Evert]

extended 9 minute vid on Alex de Minaur fourth round win vs. Alex Michelsen...

I feel bad for Gael, but I felt like Ben Shelton was going to wear down Monfils eventually if the match had gone on. Ben is just a 16-year younger version of Gael.

Just watching a replay of Sinner - Rune. How was it possible for Sinner to take so long MTO outside of the court? Did he combine 2 MTOs in one? Time since last point was around 11 minutes when he came back on the court.

Just curious. Anyway, looks like Rune missed some good chances for an early break up in 3rd and the match slowly slipped away from him.

Statement from Tennis Australia,

He could have taken a cue from Danielle Collins when the same reporter called her a "brat" and she simply diffused the situation but turning it back on him and making a joke. But Novak has to turned it into an international incident. @Fiero425: Novak IS thin-skinned. And it is completely risible for you to say he was being bullied. He is the 800-pound gorilla in tennis, and, as with many situations, rather than ignore it, or shake it off, he chooses to fan the flames. He just likes the drama and the attention, and the opportunity to sing the "woe is me" song.
