Day 6 Australian Open Tennis

Hello there and welcome to our coverage of the Australian Open, the

first Grand Slam of the year. Coming up on the programme for you today,

we'll be taking a look at how the British number one Johanna Konta

gets on in her third round match against the former world number one

Caroline Wozniacki. Konta reached the semifinals in Melbourne last

year, the first British woman to go that far up to Grand Slam in 33

years. Can she match those heroics this time around? Maybe even go one

better. What a story that would be. In this year's Australian Open, it's

already seen its fair share of drama. The biggest story of week

one, the early exit of six times champion Novak Djokovic. The number

two seed was beaten in the second round by Uzbekistan's Denis Istomin,

ranked 117 in the world, so no seventh title for the defending

champion. He played obviously above his level, but you have to give him

credit for that. Many things came together for him today and he's a

well-deserved winner. In the women's draw, the highest profile casualties

so far is Radwanska, the number three seed was beaten by Croatia's

Lucic-Baroni in round two. The number four seed fell, Simona Halep

lost to American Shelby Rogers. Britain's Heather Watson set up a

two ink encounter with Jennifer Brady but surrendered five match

points as she succumbed to the American 10-8 in the deciding set.

Fellow Briton Dan Evans' story has been altogether different. First he

beat former US Open champion and number seven seed Croatian Marin

Cilic in round two, then he followed that with a victory over home hero

Bernard Tomic to reach his first ever Grand Slam fourth-round match

against France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Winning those matches is special,

especially against Bernado in his own country, the great atmosphere,

the crowd were against me and the pinnacle in sport, to come through

when they against you. It was great. Five times runner-up Andy Murray has

eased into round four and a meeting with a German. He had yet to drop a

set in the dangerous quest for a first title. Hopefully I'll keep

getting better. Those are the big stories already from down under and

you can watch Andy Murray are against Zverev and Dan Evans against

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga tomorrow afternoon from 5:50pm on BBC Two,

and listen to the commentary on Radio Five Live sports extra. Could

you on a con to join her compatriots in round four? She's had a pretty

straightforward run so far, straight sets win against Kirsten Flipkens of

Belgian, then the promising teenager Naomi Osaka of Japan, 6-4, 6-2 as

well. Let's see how Johanna Konta can get on against the former world

number one Caroline Wozniacki. I'll hand you over to our commentary

team. COMMENTATOR:

Wozniacki missing her first two first served. Serving at 71% on the

matchups so far. Six aces, six at double fault.

She said she wasn't really happy with how she finished the match,

said she lost some intensity down the stretch. I didn't think you and

I really felt that. Too. She just Repcik right over the

sign on the net. Konta is doing a good job, early in this match, of

opening up the court and on that occasion hitting it to the Wozniacki

backhand until she felt she had the want up the line for the winner.

Break point. A free point for Wozniacki.

Has saved eight, now nine, of 11 break chances in the week,

Wozniacki. She doesn't have the biggest serve

in the world, Wozniacki, but what she does do very well is to vary the

pace and direction of the Serbs forced upon that particular

occasion, just 150 kilometres an hour, not a huge serve but right on

the line. She's looked for it a couple of

times, very aggressive from Konta. Back to deuce. She's picking on the

Wozniacki forehand side and that's the side that Wozniacki have a

harder time creating pace off. She defends very well off that side and

Konta knows that she's going to get an opportunity, that could be the

wing where the opportunities going to come from.

A difficult opening hold for Wozniacki. Being the opener, went

for it. She does have those matchups, she's worked with Kim

Clijsters, he's got some of those matchups against Wozniacki so his

scalp might be a bit more complete than Peter Wozniacki, just because

of the fact they've been in some actions with Wozniacki over the

years. Yes, you find that with good coaches, that they really have a

tremendous way of imparting knowledge to whoever it is they are

working with and he's been on the women's to for a long time now.

Understands how it works, which is very different to the way men's

tennis works. Quarterfinals or better at nine of

the event that she played in 2016, Johanna Konta. The first title she

won Win Stanford, where she beat Venus Williams, one of the lead up

tournament modes to the US Open. And she does as well a great job of

varying her serve as well, really good about placing it well, mixing

up her serve quite a bit. Is a little bit more on it than

Wozniacki, so she has it in her Arsenal also, but yes, good variety.

This is Konta's fourth Australian Open. On two previous occasions she

didn't qualify. In the first time was last year, where she got to the

semis. So really only her second main draw Australian Open. Not bad,

to have a 7-1 record going into this one. Losing to Angelique Kerber last

year, who took the title. Just seeing early in the match risk

and reward between these two. Konta is going to go for a lot more here.

Yes, shot selection is going to be important for Konta today. Obviously

there's no point going for big shots unnecessarily, but when the moment

presents itself, she will go for it. She looks sharp, early. That's how

you can tell a player's confidence level, whether they are having the

ability to hit the ball at the line early in the match. Caroline

Wozniacki didn't get anywhere near that ball, that's how well struck it

was. We are on serve early, 2-1. In -- in

the Margaret Court Arena. UMPIRE: Ladies and gentlemen, please

take any seat for now. UMPIRE: Out. Zero hi 15. -- zero -

15. It was an overrule from the chair. It wasn't challenged at all

by Konta. What we are going to have as the day

progresses if shadows on the court and the lines people at this point

are in the shade and having to look through the sun. It can be tricky at

times. Forget about the lines people, what about the players,

having to look through the sun and into the shade. That becomes tricky

as well. We'll get to that! It's tricky. That's well done. It

wasn't a bad drop shot but she was onto it. Normally a player would

either put it at the line, or do another drop shot, but she sees how

close Konta is an up and over. It's such a tricky shot honoured dead

sprint. Good shot selection. Trying to do a little bit more with

that forehand, Caroline Wozniacki, because she knows if she doesn't put

a little bit extra on it, then Konta is going to give the next one a

pretty good whack. That unforced error a direct result of the

pressure that Jo Konta is putting on her. It's been pretty clean so far,

47 winners, 27 unforced errors coming into this match, Wozniacki.

Konta doesn't have the best hands, but she's very opportunistic and

takes her chances at the net. How much court Caroline Wozniacki is

having to cover here. Konta using the court exceptionally well.

Nice pressure from Wozniacki, the back -- backhand the line, to apply

that pressure, to deuce. Wozniacki is tied for second, heading into

today's action, making 88% of her returns so far in the week. Such a

huge part of Wozniacki's game, making such a high number of

returns. Just as I say that, a free point for

Konta. That was a good serve, wasn't it? 159 out to the corner and

another game point. That was good depths from Wozniacki.

2-2. Once again, finding the angle there, Jo Konta, which is the thing

that is keeping Wozniacki off balance. It's one side, then the

other side, hit the ball to the open court, then look to move forward.

The plan is very clear from Konta today.

At this point now, two games, two service games apiece, you think

they've probably felt each other out a bit now, we might see the game

open up just a little bit. Five backhand winners already. And

the ones that haven't been winners, from Konta, are really make life

difficult for Wozniacki. Generates good pace off that side, good racket

head speed, good preparation. That's just too good. Wozniacki is

going to be trying to track things down a bit today as Konta gets to

15-30. Even this one here you think you have to start from the beginning

again, but look how much angle she gets on that one. She was a long way

behind the baseline. She didn't hit it deep, but she hit it wide, right

near that sideline. Well done. Which is forcing

Wozniacki to play shots. Beautiful backhand. That's possibly the best

tool in her arsenal, that backhand up the line.

I can sense right now Wozniacki are feeling an urgency to get that

depths and change the pace a little bit, to keep Konta back and behind

the baseline. It went wide. Its 3-2, on serve, in

the first. That's our location, the beautiful

city of Melbourne, the MCG in the background, we are in the

foreground, the Margaret Court Arena, the reddish coloured roof

behind Rob Leiva arena. Behind that the Hisense Arena. Ten or 12 minute

walk the city. UMPIRE: Take your seats quickly,

thank you. You mentioned Konta was born in

Sydney. She's been a British citizens since 2012. Sick she said

she didn't feel any special emotions after winning their last week except

she got to meet her niece. That's nice. A nice moment for her.

It's the first of the day, the first of what you'd expect to be many. She

was fourth on tour last year in ace count. 11 now in the week.

That's interesting. Wozniacki has challenged this but I think the ball

was in. If you asked people who had the fourth best serve on tour, you

may not necessarily say Jo Konta. We see two aces in a row, it just goes

to show you it's not all about the power will stop its about variety

and placement also. That's tough. The you don't have to

take that one in the air. Wozniacki is a long way behind the baseline.

She has to guess either way anyway, why not look to bounce, take your

time and hit it? It was a tough overhead. The ball was a long way up

there. Hit a long way up the grip as well.

Good defensive work from Wozniacki, charging that forehand up the line.

Well handled by Wozniacki come from 40-0 and an overhead, to 40-30.

Her third ace. She gets it to 3-3. I went back and checked in terms of

serve speed, she was about 30-35 in the tournament in terms of fastest

serve, so it goes to your point, it's not about the pace, it's about

the placement very often for Konta. And the variety and having all the

serves in your arsenal, and being able to execute them when needed.

Obviously you've got certain serves that are more favourite than others,

but you have to be able to hit down the middle, at the body, and wide,

on both sides. The forehand coming up once again

short. She's got good depth and pace going

into the body with these returns. Two straight backhands. About the

exact same. Both missing about a foot-and-a-half wide. Low forehands

from Wozniacki. Changing the depth on it, so Konta is having to move

forward into that. The shot before the one she hit the

winner of was down the middle, to Wozniacki's whose forehand is with a

little less pace. So Wozniacki, she struggles when she has to make pace

on the forehand side. The second chance of the day for the

Brit. It's always good for Wozniacki when

she's able to get Konta to move from side to side to get it to deuce.

Once again the off-pace shot to the Wozniacki forehand side, most girls

on the tour would cream that forehand, mid-court. It is probably

one of the reasons that Wozniacki has not won a major. She has a hard

time hitting winners off that forehand side.

Wozniacki, left guessing. Another great chance for Konta.

Once again it's that, it's almost like there's a target on Wozniacki's

right hip when Konta is able to go after those returns.

There it was again, Liz. Developed it this time into a break.

Konta takes the lead. The shadows are starting to creep on

to the court. They probably will be on the court within the next 10 or

15 minutes by the end of this set. Then we'll start to have fun with

that. If year looking at huge serves

coming from shade to sun or sun to shade, it's a little bit different.

These girls neither have huge serves but it is an adjustment that needs

to be made. It's a triple knot she goes with

there! You want to be sure it doesn't come undone! Konta serving

with new balls. It certainly is a unique service

motion, isn't it? The deliberate ball toss.

The preparation before is the most unique part about the serve. The

ball bouncing. She spins the ball, you see there before she bounces it

each time. Good position. Wozniacki had so many

options. Once again, because the ball hit the net it slowed down

dramatically, and that's the ball. That is exactly the ball that

Wozniacki has trouble generating pace on. That's why she went for the

lob. Picking on that wide forehand,

Wozniacki, wasn't she? The third point was the same, out wide to the

forehand side. The serve percentage has dropped

somewhat for Konta. It has not bothered her but

something to be aware of for her first double.

But when she gets a serve in, she is winning over 80% of those points.

Yikes! Konta. . The serve went to the forehand,

the next ball went to the forehand. And then it gets in your head.

These girls haven't played each other before but they know their

strengths and weaknesses. A tough ball. Didn't really adjust

too well. No. It just went up. Probably a

little bit of wind. And maybe some adjustments with the feet, maybe

tried to do too much with it. I feel like we are broken records up

here. . She

Don't expect Caroline Wozniacki to go anywhere. She will mentally stay

with this much the whole way. There's no giving up in her

vocabulary. That's another option, any time she

gets the short ball and move forward. Wozniacki certainly has the

hands to do it. Oh, she was lucky to get away with

that, wasn't she, Jo Konta? She almost got caught. Her first

instinct was to hit it in the air, then she thought maybe I'm not going

to get there, then she did, but it was awkward. She almost didn't make

contact with it. Great racket work to actually get that ball across

court. And a set point. Four straight games for Johanna

Konta, to close out the first set 6-3, and she will serve to start the

second. You can just see how clearly Jo Konta has come out with a game

plan and absolutely stuck to it. She had to go for that ball up the

line, didn't she? Being pulled so far wide, Wozniacki. Just reacting

right now. The ball doesn't have the depth from her racket, so Konta is

able to just dictate play. Frustration, evidence here for

Wozniacki. Well, she's being made to play a way

she doesn't want to play. She was very -- it was very smart on her

Ont's behalf. -- opponent's behalf.

Five games on the trot now for Konta.

It's a tough spot here for Caroline Wozniacki.

It's been broken twice in a row here. The forehand is getting picked

apart. You don't hear her talking to

herself too often but she was after that last couple of points.

It's frustrating for her. Now we've talked about it, she's been number

one in the world. She's been to two Grand Slam finals in the US Open in

2009 and again in 2014, losing on that occasion to Serena. This is the

problem when playing against the girls that really can do damage, and

she has a hard time on that one wing.

She was four and three here last year in the top ten, and 59 in her

career. She serves here 0-1. I haven't seen that too often. The

short ball from Konta, and Wozniacki being able to take advantage of it

on the backhand side and move forward. She has three of three in

her net points. That number's probably going to have to be higher

here. To that to happen, Konta has to hit

the ball short. And there's no signs of that yet.

It's her first double fault of the day.

Seventh of the tournament, and more trouble for Wozniacki on her serve.

And that is a huge statistic, isn't it?

And great chances once again for the Brit! And once again, great depth on

the receive from Konta on the return.

That double fault at 40-0, her second of the day. A bit of a bigger

second, 158. Seven straight games, going for her

eighth straight win. Konta, 3-0, in the second.

UMPIRE: Time. Caroline just pointing to her head,

as if to say, maybe I'm not thinking, maybe I need to think a

little better, just having a little conversation with her father, who is

down that end of the court. I'd say it's more of a monologue. At least,

it's supposed to be. 0- three. Just spinning that second serves

right into the middle of the court, not wanting to take a chance there

and punished once again. It's a helpless free feeling, out on

court, sometimes. When you are being outplayed like this, it is.

Second return winner of the set, for Konta.

1-2 from Wozniacki, a little bit more on that serve, well-placed.

Break chances again. Three of five on the day Tom is Konta. -- three,

of five on the day, is Konta. Unreal. Eight straight games. Four

straight breaks. All for Konta. It doesn't look like that dip is going

to come. For Caroline Wozniacki, to be able to force her way back into

this match. Jo Konta, first serve points won, 82% of the deuce court

and 86 on the second court. Phenomenal numbers.

I don't think we need a dip... This is one of the few points that Konta

hasn't won when she's been in a position where she can hit that

swinging volley. Good anticipation from Caroline Wozniacki.

Once again, the swinging volley. Really doing a good job there,

opening up the court to expose that forehand side.

For fourth today, first of the set. -- the fourth, of today, the first

of the set. It's not often you speechless, but I

feel you are speechless today. I'm enjoying the show that your current

-- Johanna Konta is putting on. There have been very few times when

she has been out of position in this whole match.

A challenge here from Wozniacki. Was there a call? There was a call. I

didn't hear the call initially, but I did see the lines person sticking

out his arm. No challenge here, second serve coming.

Oh, she missed it. It's about the first one she is missed. Had created

the opening there, Konta, by once again hitting right to leave

Wozniacki forehand. All Caroline could do was throw it up. You

mentioned it earlier, maybe let it bounce. It's always that stress you

feel with Wozniacki, that foot speed.

UMPIRE: Quiet during the rally, thank you. That was a high swinging

volley, as compared to a high lob that just comes straight down at

you. There is the ace. UMPIRE: Wozniacki is challenging the

call on the right service line. The ball was called in. May be a hopeful

challenge. Just an incredible and dominant

performance from Jo Konta. 6-3, 5-0. UMPIRE: Wozniacki has two challenges

remaining. We talked about Konta coming into the Australian Open and

winning in Sydney, beating Radwanska. She outplayed everyone,

just like this. UMPIRE: Take your seats quickly

please, thank you. Time. UMPIRE: Thank you, ladies and

gentlemen. Oh, my. Love - 15, not good enough,

that serve, not when you are serving against someone like Jo Konta, with

returning. It's flat, straight up the line. Played perfectly.

Johanna Konta is a train today. Your bobbin we will hear what she has to

say when it finishes. Sometimes you are so focused you are not away

while playing an almost perfect match. It's like when Istomin said

the other day, he felt sorry for Djokovic because of how well he was

playing. I think Konta might say the same thing today.

This is not a first round match against someone racked 150 in the

world. Jo Konta is playing against a former number one player in the

world. This is a quality opponent that she is being made to look very

mediocre. Three in six against players that have been ranked at

number one in their career, coming into this match, Konta.

Clearly looking like she will make it four in six.

APPLAUSE It's been a long time since Caroline

Wozniacki has got game point, but she has won here. -- she has a game

point here. She hasn't had one in this set.

The last time she had a game point was when she converted her service

game... INAUDIBLE

A lifetime ago. A good hold that, from Wozniacki, I have to say. But

it's Konta, serving, for a spot in the 16.

That's good, on the line from Konta, even under pressure. Being able to

produce the goods there. Wozniacki was on the charge. Not panicking,

Konta. Why panic, with a 5-1 lead? No, absolutely.

It's a risk you. -- miscue. You can count on one hand the amount of

shots we've seen like that from Jo Konta today. The unforced errors

have been from a show of aggression, not so much with that one.

A glimpse. Again, without a great chance on the day.

A challenge from Konta. This might be your dip.

UMPIRE: The ball was called out. I was having a close look at this ball

as well. What the review says. Is it good? Yes, it is. Wow.

When things aren't going your way, they just don't go your way, do

they? APPLAUSE

Dejected shoulders from Wozniacki. She knows that might be her one

glimpse. That was a huge point, 15-30. I think these opportunities

are going to be few and far between. Just inches, maybe trying to finish

this match off fraction quickly, taking her time and doing the right

thing and going back for the towel. That was her third double of the

day. A mis-hit forehand from Wozniacki,

throws up her hands in disgust. Another match point for Konta. This

is a situation we talked about it earlier, where Konta is serving from

shadow to light here. It's tough for Wozniacki, looking up at the roof,

before this point. It's wide. An absolute masterclass

from Johanna Konta. 6-3, 6-1, over Caroline Wozniacki, moving back into

the round of 16 here at the Australian Open. We see Jo Konta

acknowledged the crowd. That certainly wasn't a scoreline that I

was predicting before this match. Full credit to that lady on the

screen. What a wonderful performance.

STUDIO: Konta looking very impressive, but

next is the Russian Ekaterina Makarova, after she came through in

three sets against Dominica Cibulkova, a finalist in Melbourne

three years ago but she's heading home early this time round. Makarova

lines up against Konta. Let's look at the rest of the draw. Pliskova

came through 10-8 in a deciding set. Gavrilova Rizal at Aussie standing

in the singles. Brady beat Heather Watson from

Britain. She hadn't won an Australian Open match since 1998,

now she has one Vekic in a row. Barbora Strycova squares up to six

times champion Serena Williams, who is on for the open era record, 23rd

Grand Slam title. If she comes through that one, Serena is on

course for a quarterfinal matchup with Johanna Konta, but Konta isn't

looking that far ahead, she says. Here she is talking to Russell

looking that far ahead, she says. Here she is talking to Russell

Fuller. I thought that was your best

performance of the week by some margin. How pleased with you, the

way you played? I'm very happy with the level I was mainly able to

maintain. Throughout that much. From the get go, I knew that she was not

going to give it to make. Caroline is the kind of player who will make

her opponents earn any point they win against her. I knew that, and I

felt I committed to the way I wanted to play and I had trust in that,

even if it sometimes wasn't going to work, that it was going to bring the

opportunities and I'm happy it did today. You were very aggressive from

the very first ball. Do you think you hit the ball significantly

harder than you did say this time last year? I don't know. I think

you'll need to refer to stats for that one. But I think my intention

was clear today. Because of that, I was able to just be very clinical

and clear on how I wanted to play, therefore I didn't get too lost in

between thoughts, or in between decision-making. I think things got

simplified for me today and I just enjoyed trying to execute the plan

and really enjoyed being out there. It was a really nice atmosphere on

court today. There was a lot of people, a lot of support, so I

enjoyed the whole thing. Is there an extra buzz when you are playing

someone like Caroline Wozniacki? Because of what she has achieved in

her career, and also because she's very popular, wherever she goes in

tennis? Yes, she's been at the top of the game for as long as I can

remember. I cannot remember a time when she wasn't. I was really

looking forward to playing her. I've never played her before. She's a

former world number one. I don't know how money titles as she's won

and finals, so was looking forward to the challenge and I was happy I

was able to execute the things I wanted to do out there today. It's

funny how the draw has worked out. You will now play Makarova in the

fourth round, just as you did here last year. What are your memories of

that match, which went on and on and on? Yes, every time we'd played

before that and after that it's been close matches, so I expect nothing

different tomorrow. She's playing a great level. She had a great win

today. I'm looking forward to the challenge. Whatever difficulties

will come, I'm looking forward to facing them. Who knows, we might be

on the same court. Yes, one match at a time, they always say and we'll

have highlights of that last 16 tie against Katarina Makarova on BBC Two

for you from 4045 B. The men's draw lost one of its biggest stars in the

first week, Djokovic packing bags. It's a welcome return for two of the

game's giants, Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer are both back from injury.

Nadal is due to the last 16 after a gritty fightback to beat rising star

Alexander Zverev in just over four hours. Nadal held his nerve to the

off the German teenager 6-2 win the final set. After he claimed the

scalp of Djokovic, Denis Istomin is still on the march, this time the

wildcard from Uzbekistan beat the 30th seed Pablo Carreno buster 6-2

in the deciding set. Also through to the fourth round is Gael Monfils,

the flamboyant Frenchman beat Philipp Kohlschreiber in straight

sets to set up a mouthwatering matchup with Rafael Nadal. Wimbledon

finalist Milos Raonic beat Gilles Simon in four sets. He meets Roberto

ask busted a gut, ate the Dominic Thiem plays David Goffin. Dem

semester minis -- Denis Istomin has had a long wait to see who he faces

next. Dimitrov and Gasquet stepped on court just after midnight.

Dimitrov came through that late-night battle. The last 16 in

the top half of the draw was decided yesterday, with world number one

Andy Murray up against the older Zverev brother, and they are at the

bottom is Dan Evans, who admitted his commitment to tennis in the past

has been patchy, to say the least, but his wins against Marin Cilic and

Bernard Tomic in Melbourne have been outstanding. Winning those matches

is special, especially against Bernado his own country, a great

atmosphere. The crowd were against me and that is the sort of pinnacle

in sport, to come through when they are against you. It was great, it

was a great day, evening, whatever it was. I really enjoyed it. I'm

looking forward to going again on Sunday. You paid a very emotional

coat -- tribute to your former coach, Julien Hoferlin, who died

last year. Would you like to tell everybody what he meant to you, and

how he has inspired this stage of your career? Yes, obviously

everybody in tennis knows what happens to Julien. He died with

cancer. Obviously that part of my life, when he coached me, I wasn't

giving 100% at all times and there was off court stuff I was doing

which he wasn't happy with. It's nights like tonight, obviously sport

is about, there's all those people who you want fairer and obviously I

wish you could have seen what happened tonight. It -- he would

have been pretty proud of my effort. He always said I could do it. So

obviously, he always said I should be playing top 40 tennis and in the

Grand Slams in the second weeks and stuff, so tonight was obviously for

him. He would have been very excited about the thought of you playing

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga as well. I've watched him many times in semis and

quarterfinals and finals here. He knows his way around the tennis

court. So it's going to be tough. I'm going to have to run a lot

again. I'm looking forward to it. Everything from now is enjoy it, try

to get a win. STUDIO:

So Dan Evans has another big name in his sights and that match against

Jo-Wilfried So Dan Evans has another big name in

his sights and that match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will be one of

our featured matches tomorrow, along with Andy Murray against Zverev.

That is tomorrow. Today has belonged to Johanna Konta and Russell Fuller

caught up with the Davis Cup captain John Smith for his thoughts on the

British number one. She's been impressive all week and

all year, but there was something particularly eye-catching about the

way she played today? She has grown into a player that is just really

looking to dominate and every time she goes out, and the thing that was

so impressive against Wozniacki, a form another one player in the

world, is that she can match her for consistency, but then she trumps her

for power, athleticism and confidence, and she just looks like

she is someone on a mission. She is going from strength to strength. Two

more matches involving British players on Sunday, Andy Murray,

playing Zverev, unseeded, 29 years of age, seemingly dealing very well

with the noises off stage, the chatter about Novak Djokovic's

elimination. Look what happened last year at Wimbledon. He had to go

through it when Djokovic lost to Sam Querrey early on. Andy Murray is so

experienced in these situations that he will just keep that focus of

match by match. He talks about it. People might get bored of it but

that's what happens, you go by, you get tactically ready for the match

against Zverev and that's the key. Then Dan Evans, who probably

deserves top billing ahead of Andy Murray, against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

When he beat Bernard Tomic I thought he was full of belief. The important

thing playing against Tsonga, it's a step up on Tomic, but this year he's

dominated and he went on to beach -- he went on to beat Marin Cilic, he

has the game to trouble the top ten players and that will give him

confidence. He has a game that Tsonga won't be up against that

often. He's going to have to execute it very well, because Tsonga is a

great player, plays well in Melbourne and he has a good game

when he scores. But it is possible and I'm sure that Dan Evans will

create opportunities in that match. What a tour de force it has been

from Bryn's stars in Melbourne. Another dominant win from Johanna

Konta means she'll be back in action on Monday. We'll bring you

highlights of the last 16 tie against Makarova, but before that,

the boys are back. Andy Murray taking on Zverev, and we'll get to

see whether Dan Evans can continue his remarkable run of form against

the 12th seed, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Another David versus Goliath matchup

for him, but it turns out that's just how he likes it. Thanks very

much for watching. See you tomorrow.
