Serena in big trouble at the Australian Open against Wang.

Great tournament so far.

Nadal and Jokovic just look like they are cruising.

Federer and Tsitsipas are really up against it at the moment.

Raonic the destroyer walking through his match.

Kyrgios up against Nadal LIVE.

Much closer than I was expecting.

Federer getting smoked by unknown American guy, Tennys Sandgren.

It appears the Federer fell apart in the sun, or has an injury. Just not performing well at all.

Will Federer fight back, or can Tennys hang on and take the match?

I'm on Team Thiem of course, but I guess he has no chance against Nadal in the 1/4 Finals.

Course he does. As we saw today, the old dinosaurs Federer and Nadal have limited time left.

Tennys had 7 match points against Federer and could not put him away.

Sandgren is a nasty piece of work so much relief all round.

Wawrinka wins first set 6-1 in 24 mins.

Zverev does not drop a point on his serve to take the 2nd set 6-3.

What a game!

Wawrinka with only 33% on 1st serves.

Can Wawrinka keep up the ground strokes to win this match. Incredible aggression.

Or will Zverev handle the hot conditions better with this youth?

I don't know. Thiem is right in this.

He has a major weapon in that topspin forehand. My god, it's lethal.

First set. Go Team Thiem!

Here we go. 4th set. Game of the Australian Open so far coming up.

Thiem to serve to get rid of Nadal.

Mens final determined.

Jokovic (Serbia) vs Thiem (Austria)

This is going to be extreme.

Dominic Thiem makes it into the Final against Jokervic:



4-6 so far in Head-to-Head matches between the two.

Djokovic has won the Australian Open 7 times already though ...

Thiem is on now.

Just needs to lift another level to get Djokovic doubting himself.

Thiem is the better player, but Djokovic's experience gives him more efficient service game wins.

What a game! Fantastic effort from the young starter. The majority of the crowd is fully behind the Austrian and Djokovic is getting nothing apart from a small group of fanatics.

Thiem looked like the sure winner in the middle of Set 4, but then lost ground.

Would have been cool to see him win, but I projected Jokervic to win - so at least my prediction was right ... Tongue

Thiem did his parents and Austria proud. Just Djokovic has 17 Grand Slams, and that experience in pressure moments got him home.

I thought Thiems' serve let him down.
