It's live! Sandgren v Chung
The men’s singles draw waited 10 years for an unseeded semifinalist, then two came along at once. With world No.49 Kyle Edmund sitting safely in the final four - where he will take on Marin Cilic - Hyeon Chung and Tennys Sandgren will be hoping to join him when they face off on Rod Laver Arena.
Chung dazzled in his win over Djokovic. The Serb, of course, was hampered by his on-going elbow issues but that’s not to take away from Chung who played the big points like a season veteran and not a 21-year-old looking to reach his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Today takes on a different look for Chung, who goes into his match with Sandgren as the favourite. The American is making his Australian Open main draw debut and his magical run is one of the most unexpected in recent Grand Slam history. The world No.97 has come in for some criticism since his big win over Dominic Thiem, however. His rapid rise to fame has shone a light on some of his social media activity, and he has faced some difficult questioning from the world's media over the past 48 hours. It will be interesting to see if that has any effect on his performance today.
The clock has just hit 1300 AEDT so let’s hop to it.
