Trail Edmund is breaking new ground,

first Grand Slam quarterfinal for

0:00:460:00:52

the 23-year-old Yorkshireman. We've

grown accustomed to chewing Andy

0:00:520:00:55

Murray into the latter stages of

this land is now Great Britain has a

0:00:550:00:58

new start. Keil Edmund on the best

run of his career. Long may it

0:00:580:01:06

continue. Keil Edmund has already

tasted global success as part of

0:01:060:01:09

Great Britain's winning Davis Cup

team in 2015 but now he's standing

0:01:090:01:13

on his own and he's rubbing

shoulders with some of the biggest

0:01:130:01:16

names in the game. This is how the

quarterfinals look.

0:01:160:01:27

The remaining fourth-round matches

today. Dominic Thiem takes on Tennys

0:01:360:01:43

Sandgren from the USA. Chung is the

first South Korean to make it to the

0:01:430:01:51

fourth round of a grand slam.

0:01:510:01:57

Roger won his first Australian Open

title last year, the only current

0:02:010:02:05

player to top his record at

Melbourne Park is Novak Djokovic, he

0:02:050:02:09

hasn't played for six months since

pulling out of Wimbledon and he is

0:02:090:02:12

still wearing a protective sleeve on

his injured elbow but he's back and

0:02:120:02:16

looking to add to his sensational

six.

0:02:160:02:20

COMMENTATOR: Novak Djokovic claims

his first Grand Slam title.

0:02:260:02:34

Djokovic as the champion again.

0:02:350:02:40

It's over and you have to say the

man deserves it. Incredible.

0:02:400:02:52

man deserves it. Incredible. It's

the iron man from Serbia once again.

0:02:520:02:59

More tennis history for Novak

Djokovic. Wins the Australian Open

0:03:000:03:04

for a fifth time. Another one to

look at -- Novak Djokovic. What a

0:03:040:03:15

player.

0:03:150:03:20

player. His opponent today is

21-year-old who

0:03:230:03:31

player. His opponent today is

21-year-old who won the next

0:03:310:03:32

generation to. These two played

before two years ago. Djokovic

0:03:320:03:36

winning that one in straight sets.

Chung has really developed as an

0:03:360:03:41

athlete since then, this is how he

has made his way to the fourth

0:03:410:03:44

round. An easy first-round for him

after Zverotic Zverev had to retire.

0:03:440:03:54

-- Alexander

0:03:540:04:00

-- Alexander Zverev .0 to two and

Chung came out on top in five sets.

0:04:000:04:05

Chung comes to the fourth-round

match high on confidence after that

0:04:050:04:09

win over Zverev. For Novak Djokovic,

there has been no test so far, just

0:04:090:04:15

Gael Monfils taking him to a fourth

set. He still has that question over

0:04:150:04:20

his fitness, how will he hold up

physically? As they head out onto

0:04:200:04:25

court, you can see Djokovic wearing

the fetching flesh coloured arm she

0:04:250:04:29

is he has been wearing to give

support and protection to the

0:04:290:04:32

injured elbow and Chung wearing his

trademark sporting spectacles. Time

0:04:320:04:37

to get the action started and the

South Korean race to Dubai double

0:04:370:04:44

Brett break lead. Djokovic was

looking for from his best with

0:04:440:04:48

several unforced errors but the

Serbian dug in to draw level and

0:04:480:04:51

take the opening set on a tie-break

which is where we join the match.

0:04:510:04:56

COMMENTATOR: Yes! Turning defence

into attack.

0:05:140:05:24

into attack.

Good stare at the end

as well. Chung has got a very good

0:05:240:05:31

tie-break record. Already played

five this season. Won four of the

0:05:310:05:36

five he has played this season.

0:05:360:05:45

Not only does he extract perfection

from his opponents, Novak, he

0:05:580:06:03

expects it from himself and he was

disappointed with that.

0:06:030:06:14

That is unbelievable. Djokovic looks

like he held the pass until the last

0:06:160:06:26

minute and found a miraculous

volley. Amazing balance with Chung

0:06:260:06:32

when you are faced with Novak with a

double hander, you don't commit one

0:06:320:06:37

way or the other. It was impressive,

terrific get from Novak and at that

0:06:370:06:43

point you thought he had it, could

not get a read on and saw he had to

0:06:430:06:47

hold his balance as well as he did.

0:06:470:06:58

This is just what we expected, isn't

it? High quality stuff. The highest!

0:07:260:07:36

What a rally. Early on in that rally

there was just a regulation kind of

0:07:360:07:42

defensive forehand. From Novak that

we cannot just take for granted

0:07:420:07:45

these days but it's not easy to do

and yet somehow he managed to force

0:07:450:07:49

his way to the net.

0:07:490:07:53

Incidentally, the last second serve

was 178 km/h from Novak, no residue

0:08:030:08:08

would appear from those double

faults early on in this match. Well,

0:08:080:08:12

maybe there is.

0:08:120:08:18

maybe there is. Mini-break goes the

way of the South Korean.

0:08:220:08:25

Bigger first set for Chung?

Definitely. The physical toil is a

0:08:300:08:35

bit of an unknown for Novak out

here. I don't think Chung will be

0:08:350:08:42

too disappointed in some respects if

you lost it in terms of the fact of

0:08:420:08:45

how long it's gone.

0:08:450:08:52

It's breathtaking. APPLAUSE

In every sense of the word. The

0:09:270:09:36

longest rally of the match. 26

strokes, each of them had a purpose.

0:09:360:09:43

How good was the backhand down the

line late on in the rally? There was

0:09:430:09:47

not much follow-through, just a

little flick of the wrist, just

0:09:470:09:51

prior to that.

The height over the

net to give it the depth and then

0:09:510:09:56

the finish. It was a masterpiece of

a point from Novak.

Serbian fans in

0:09:560:10:09

the house taking to their feet after

that one. Still locked in this

0:10:090:10:18

tie-break very much in the balance.

0:10:180:10:25

APPLAUSE

That is terrific.

0:10:290:10:40

That is terrific. Feels like his

forehand has gone up a level in this

0:10:400:10:43

breaker. He is needed to match the

challenge he is now under from

0:10:430:10:46

Djokovic.

0:10:460:10:54

Djokovic. To do with a couple of

first serves here, the former world

0:10:540:10:57

number one. -- could do.

0:10:570:11:05

He got the first serve.

He's

breathing hard. The urgency to get

0:11:100:11:18

the toll there was obvious. --

towel.

0:11:180:11:25

Two forehands go astray and Chung

has got three set points here. 3-31

0:11:530:12:01

Chung Hebdo is terrific forehands to

go up 4-3, right at the end Novak

0:12:010:12:05

was stretching with one arm to chip

it back and then he flexed his elbow

0:12:050:12:09

at the end of it and he's just done

it again after that missed forehand.

0:12:090:12:23

Not sure about that coal air.

Djokovic going for broke, really. --

0:12:400:12:49

call there.

0:12:490:12:53

CHEERING

0:12:530:13:02

That there is an outstanding finish

to such an impressive set, given the

0:13:170:13:24

way it unfolded, he had a grip of it

early, seemed to let it slip but

0:13:240:13:28

under way to take it, Chung wins the

first 7-6. STUDIO: A remarkable

0:13:280:13:34

first set of tennis from the South

Korean and the Novak Djokovic

0:13:340:13:38

struggling in the tie-break, he

called for the trainer to receive

0:13:380:13:41

treatment on the right elbow that

kept him out of tennis for six

0:13:410:13:44

months. How would he fare in the

second set? We join with Djokovic

0:13:440:13:48

serving at one love.

0:13:480:14:00

Djokovic couldn't even move for that

one. Totally flat-footed.

0:14:390:14:51

Just got a shot of Mark Webber and.

Former Formula 1 driver.

0:14:580:15:12

Problems mounting.

I just think he

is winded. The intensity of the

0:15:360:15:44

points, it's just phenomenal. At his

peak, yeah, that would play into his

0:15:440:15:51

hands but he's not at that I would

say Peter match fitness yet.

0:15:510:15:58

say Peter match fitness yet.

Made

it.

0:15:580:16:04

it. The Korean is upset and a break.

STUDIO: Back but Djokovic would

0:16:060:16:14

break back. We return to the match

with the Serbians serving to stay in

0:16:140:16:18

the Senate.

0:16:180:16:25

COMMENTATOR: Obviously fortunate but

also perhaps deserving of it. He's

0:16:400:16:46

got after this ball, really taken it

to Novak and he's got the benefit.

0:16:460:16:54

He went coast-to-coast and Chung was

still there. I don't understand the

0:17:200:17:33

logic of more points being called by

luck with net calls off the server.

0:17:330:17:41

It happens in college.

0:17:410:17:50

Where is the enhancement value of

the fan if points are decided by

0:17:510:17:57

luck of the 130 mph serve? It

doesn't seem to have any common

0:17:570:18:02

sense at all.

0:18:020:18:12

Felt good. But not good enough to

challenge.

0:18:120:18:25

That was a decent return wasn't it?

Every return again, Djokovic just

0:18:310:18:36

caught by surprise.

0:18:360:18:44

Chung two points away from the two

set lead. Beautiful delivery.

0:18:500:18:59

set lead. Beautiful delivery. That

was exactly as he imagined it as he

0:18:590:19:02

was standing on the baseline

bouncing the ball. That is where he

0:19:020:19:06

wanted to play set, enough pace to

get it away from Chung.

0:19:060:19:18

Everyone could see him shaking his

elbow after the first serve. The

0:19:310:19:36

discomfort is seemingly there again.

0:19:360:19:45

No ACs to offset the eight double

faults now for Djokovic.

0:19:480:19:58

Little look up to his team from

Chung.

0:20:000:20:08

Chung.

They can hardly contain their

excitement as their man is at set

0:20:080:20:11

point here.

0:20:110:20:17

Remarkable defence! And the

21-year-old Chung Hyeon has the six

0:20:560:21:03

time former champion on the ropes.

STUDIO: Into set free and it was

0:21:030:21:12

Cheung De Jong who continue to take

the game to Djokovic, the former

0:21:120:21:15

world number one was now in real

trouble and we pick up the action

0:21:150:21:19

with the South Korean serving at

3-1.

0:21:190:21:27

Just going back to Novak's serve, it

does not have to go to a fifth set,

0:22:560:23:07

it could be 3-set, where he has not

served at ace, the lowest I can see

0:23:070:23:12

is against Gael Monfils at the US

Open, this is not including Davis

0:23:120:23:17

Cup, that was just three aces in

five sets.

0:23:170:23:29

That was all the way back in 2005

and his serve got much better. Just

0:23:320:23:39

an illustration, not a single ace

tonight so far in two and a half

0:23:390:23:42

long sets. But his application has

been exemplary. The man seeded 14 in

0:23:420:23:51

these championships.

0:23:510:23:58

LAUGHTER

That is one of the most ridiculous

0:24:360:24:39

rallies you will ever see. How good

was that from Chung? I mean, it was

0:24:390:24:45

good from Djokovic as well, because

he brought the best out of Chung.

0:24:450:24:54

You have more chance of moving Table

Mountain than Chung out of that

0:24:540:24:59

backhand corner. He is an immovable

force.

0:24:590:25:08

It's hard to put into words the

quality you see isn't it? His

0:25:340:25:41

ability in a situation like that to

keep pressing because Djokovic has

0:25:410:25:45

got four or five balls back into

play here, he is thinking against

0:25:450:25:50

everyone else in the world that is

done and he is still there. Little

0:25:500:25:56

look up towards his corner.

0:25:560:26:01

Oh! Can you believe it?

This might

be the game of the year.

I am always

0:26:140:26:31

going to be biased but when I watch

tennis like this I think it's the

0:26:310:26:35

best sport ever. The athleticism,

the eye hand coordination, the

0:26:350:26:42

control, under pressure. All the

facets you need to produce points

0:26:420:26:47

like this.

0:26:470:26:53

He has painted the line. His

reflection, his face says it all. No

0:26:530:27:04

words needed from us.

0:27:040:27:07

Open stance as well. Having just

played the four appointees had to

0:27:110:27:15

play. -- the four points he's had to

play.

0:27:150:27:25

I think if he is wondering if he was

away for six months or six years,

0:27:300:27:37

how the game has changed! That had

everything, testosterone and

0:27:370:27:42

velocity. His pride has taken a bit

of a dent here.

0:27:420:27:50

The young man may be thought he was

there but he's not there just yet.

0:27:550:28:01

Djokovic breaks back. STUDIO: Novak

Djokovic digging deep to keep

0:28:010:28:09

himself in the match, the rest of

the set went with serve until the

0:28:090:28:15

tie-break, were something would have

to give.

0:28:150:28:23

COMMENTATOR: Winner of the next gen

finals in Milan in early November,

0:28:440:28:52

Chung Hyeon.

0:28:520:28:56

I don't think he should have been

there, do you? Never made it beyond

0:29:090:29:15

the semifinal of the tour level

event. Could well be the first

0:29:150:29:22

break-out.

With shots like that!

0:29:220:29:31

For a guy that for a while had a

forehand that many felt perhaps

0:29:320:29:36

would end up being a liability he's

got more winners tonight than

0:29:360:29:40

Djokovic of that particular wing.

0:29:400:29:49

Is that going to prove fatal?

0:29:570:30:05

If it isn't he's going to do summon

up his considerable powers on the

0:30:050:30:12

return. We've seen it over the

years, more so against Federer in

0:30:120:30:18

that epic semifinal with the

forehand return on match point down.

0:30:180:30:26

Wasn't quite as impressive but very

valuable. Just the fact he got it

0:30:320:30:39

back into play, it was a good first

serve from Chung.

0:30:390:30:51

Djokovic has to laugh.

If he had won

that point I think we might have all

0:31:170:31:31

gone home.

We would not have been

far off.

0:31:310:31:37

How is this guy is athleticism? He

was pushed to Sydney and back and he

0:31:400:31:45

still got here and almost pulled off

the forehand, you can only laugh.

0:31:450:31:52

Two big points for Djokovic.

I'm a

little sobriety is not gone after

0:31:520:31:58

the second serve in this manner,

he's got the capability, big targets

0:31:580:32:03

and plenty of velocity on the

return. That would be my only minor

0:32:030:32:08

criticism of his performance

tonight.

0:32:080:32:15

tonight. That is the serve I don't

think he's found with the same

0:32:150:32:20

accuracy as he once did before the

elbow injury which kept him out of

0:32:200:32:23

the game for six months.

0:32:230:32:31

Went back to his favoured serve. It

was good enough.

0:32:410:32:51

Opening three points won by the man

from Korea. The second three

0:32:520:33:01

bouncing back nicely from Djokovic.

Huge roar from the crowd. This has

0:33:010:33:09

been a treat. Full house once again

inside this magnificent stadium.

0:33:090:33:18

3-3.

0:33:180:33:24

He did everything right apart from

the final shot, Novak. Biding his

0:34:100:34:14

time until he got the ball to take

on but just could not take the

0:34:140:34:18

opportunity.

0:34:180:34:21

To good! CHEERING

APPLAUSE

0:34:520:35:01

Running out of superlatives for this

guy.

0:35:010:35:08

Lapping it up.

0:35:270:35:35

21 years of age. Chung Hyeon. On the

cusp of despatching the six time

0:35:390:35:51

former champion.

0:35:510:35:59

Please. Quiet please.

0:35:590:36:06

Please.

0:36:060:36:09

Chung Hyeon is into the

quarterfinals of the Australian

0:36:270:36:32

Open! He becomes the first Korean

ever to make the last eight at a

0:36:320:36:39

major. That was a performance that

will live long in the memory. It's

0:36:390:36:47

just the start of his career. It's

going to be a good one. He is

0:36:470:36:52

through.

0:36:520:37:01

Two years ago you played Novak here

in the first round and he beat you

0:37:020:37:06

in straight sets, this time we have

beaten him in the fourth round in

0:37:060:37:09

straight sets, how did you do it?

I

don't know. I am really just happy,

0:37:090:37:18

I am honoured to play with Novak

again, I'm happy to see him on the

0:37:180:37:23

tour.

It was an amazing match, we

are happy to see Novak on the tour,

0:37:230:37:29

I think a lot of us are happy to see

you playing the way you are playing.

0:37:290:37:33

So many of the shots that you hit

were amazing, incredible. How do you

0:37:330:37:39

hit those shots from the corner, the

flexibility, it's like watching

0:37:390:37:43

Novak do it but it is you! LAUGHTER

I don't know, when I am young and I

0:37:430:37:49

am just trying to copy Novak because

he is my idol.

LAUGHTER

0:37:490:37:55

You have done an amazing job.

0:37:550:38:00

It's difficult to be the champion,

always. You were up 3-0 in the

0:38:030:38:08

tie-breaker and he made it 3-3, when

you walked around the net what did

0:38:080:38:13

you think because you played

beautiful after that?

I just think

0:38:130:38:18

about, I am 2-0 up in sets and if I

lose I have a chance, two more sets

0:38:180:38:23

so I am ready to play two more

hours, I am younger than Novak so I

0:38:230:38:27

don't care!

You are definitely

younger than him but he is pretty

0:38:270:38:32

fit. But for this tournament your

best results in a Grand Slam in a

0:38:320:38:40

major was the third round at the

French Open and now you are into the

0:38:400:38:43

quarterfinals, can you believe it?

I

cannot believe this tonight, dreams

0:38:430:38:49

come true tonight.

STUDIO: What a

story, nerveless stuff from Chung

0:38:490:38:54

Hyeon. Beating Novak Djokovic in

straight sets, unfazed by the

0:38:540:38:59

pressure in the final tie-break and

he is through not only to his first

0:38:590:39:03

Grand Slam quarterfinal but a first

for South Korea as well.

0:39:030:39:08

The fearless are here. The Winter

Olympics. Starts the 9th of February

0:39:310:39:36

across the BBC.

What a month it will be for South

0:39:360:39:40

Korea with the Winter Olympics

coming up in just 18 days' time and

0:39:400:39:43

now they have a Grand Slam

quarterfinalist, Chung Saint Novak

0:39:430:39:49

Djokovic was his idol. If he was at

all-star trucks today it did not

0:39:490:39:54

show. Novak Djokovic might not be

entirely over his injury but you

0:39:540:39:58

cannot take anything away from Chung

with how he played today. The other

0:39:580:40:03

fourth-round business is also

concluded. Tomas Berdych beat Fabio

0:40:030:40:07

Fognini in straight sets. Bit of a

shock coming up, Rob number five

0:40:070:40:12

Dominic Thiem of Austria beaten in

five sets by Tennys Sandgren. Roger

0:40:120:40:19

Federer remains on course for his

20th Grand Slam beating Marton

0:40:190:40:27

Fucsovics. Tomas Berdych is next to

him.

We have had some good ones

0:40:270:40:31

going all the way back to the Athens

Olympics in 2004. I am looking

0:40:310:40:36

forward to playing against him, he

seems in good shape and I am happy

0:40:360:40:40

he's over his back issues which he

also had at the end of last year so

0:40:400:40:44

that's a good thing.

Some brilliant

quarterfinals forward to. The match

0:40:440:40:52

we will focus on, Grigor Dimitrov

against Kyle Edmund of Britain.

0:40:520:41:01

The line-up for the men's

quarterfinals is complete and so too

0:41:050:41:10

for the women, for a while it looked

like 2016 champion Angelique Kerber

0:41:100:41:14

would be the next high-profile

victim of Hsieh Su-wei of Chinese

0:41:140:41:19

Taipei who has already dispatched

Garbine Muguruza and Agnieszka

0:41:190:41:24

Radwanska but Angelique Kerber came

through after dropping the first set

0:41:240:41:28

to continue our unbeaten start of

the season.

I had a tough off-season

0:41:280:41:33

and right now I try to enjoy it and

I know I played good, I played

0:41:330:41:38

really good the last few games and

matches and completely different

0:41:380:41:42

matches that I had. It's great, it's

a great feeling to be back on the

0:41:420:41:47

quarters.

This is how the line-up.

Karolina Pliskova was briefly top of

0:41:470:41:57

the rankings last summer.

0:41:570:42:04

All the hallmarks of a thriller,

Kerber's self belief returned and

0:42:160:42:21

Keys out to revenge her US Open

final loss. Plenty of other sports

0:42:210:42:27

to enjoy across the BBC.

0:42:270:42:30

We will stick to the sunnier climes

of Melbourne with more highlights

0:42:540:42:58

tomorrow afternoon. We will feature

the quarterfinal clash between Kyle

0:42:580:43:05

Edmund and Grigor Dimitrov. If you

cannot wait to find out the result

0:43:050:43:11

set your alarms for 3:30am when our

colleagues on the radio will have

0:43:110:43:16

live coverage. I suspect we will all

be looking a bit bleary eyed when we

0:43:160:43:22

come back with the highlights

tomorrow afternoon, get the copy on

0:43:220:43:26

and enjoy the early-morning party

with Andy Murray who has been waking

0:43:260:43:29

up early to cheer on his friends

throughout the tournament. Can Kyle

0:43:290:43:33

Edmund pull off the biggest win of

his career?

First time in the fourth

0:43:330:43:38

round in Australia. Moving into his

first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal.

0:43:380:43:52

Kyle Edmund, two match points.

Edmund has done it. He has let on to

0:43:520:44:00

the air. He will
