Day 8 Highlights Australian Open Tennis

Trail Edmund is breaking new ground,

first Grand Slam quarterfinal for

the 23-year-old Yorkshireman. We've

grown accustomed to chewing Andy

Murray into the latter stages of

this land is now Great Britain has a

new start. Keil Edmund on the best

run of his career. Long may it

continue. Keil Edmund has already

tasted global success as part of

Great Britain's winning Davis Cup

team in 2015 but now he's standing

on his own and he's rubbing

shoulders with some of the biggest

names in the game. This is how the

quarterfinals look.

The remaining fourth-round matches

today. Dominic Thiem takes on Tennys

Sandgren from the USA. Chung is the

first South Korean to make it to the

fourth round of a grand slam.

Roger won his first Australian Open

title last year, the only current

player to top his record at

Melbourne Park is Novak Djokovic, he

hasn't played for six months since

pulling out of Wimbledon and he is

still wearing a protective sleeve on

his injured elbow but he's back and

looking to add to his sensational

six.

COMMENTATOR: Novak Djokovic claims

his first Grand Slam title.

Djokovic as the champion again.

It's over and you have to say the

man deserves it. Incredible.

man deserves it. Incredible. It's

the iron man from Serbia once again.

More tennis history for Novak

Djokovic. Wins the Australian Open

for a fifth time. Another one to

look at -- Novak Djokovic. What a

player.

player. His opponent today is

21-year-old who

player. His opponent today is

21-year-old who won the next

generation to. These two played

before two years ago. Djokovic

winning that one in straight sets.

Chung has really developed as an

athlete since then, this is how he

has made his way to the fourth

round. An easy first-round for him

after Zverotic Zverev had to retire.

-- Alexander

-- Alexander Zverev .0 to two and

Chung came out on top in five sets.

Chung comes to the fourth-round

match high on confidence after that

win over Zverev. For Novak Djokovic,

there has been no test so far, just

Gael Monfils taking him to a fourth

set. He still has that question over

his fitness, how will he hold up

physically? As they head out onto

court, you can see Djokovic wearing

the fetching flesh coloured arm she

is he has been wearing to give

support and protection to the

injured elbow and Chung wearing his

trademark sporting spectacles. Time

to get the action started and the

South Korean race to Dubai double

Brett break lead. Djokovic was

looking for from his best with

several unforced errors but the

Serbian dug in to draw level and

take the opening set on a tie-break

which is where we join the match.

COMMENTATOR: Yes! Turning defence

into attack.

into attack.

Good stare at the end

as well. Chung has got a very good

tie-break record. Already played

five this season. Won four of the

five he has played this season.

Not only does he extract perfection

from his opponents, Novak, he

expects it from himself and he was

disappointed with that.

That is unbelievable. Djokovic looks

like he held the pass until the last

minute and found a miraculous

volley. Amazing balance with Chung

when you are faced with Novak with a

double hander, you don't commit one

way or the other. It was impressive,

terrific get from Novak and at that

point you thought he had it, could

not get a read on and saw he had to

hold his balance as well as he did.

This is just what we expected, isn't

it? High quality stuff. The highest!

What a rally. Early on in that rally

there was just a regulation kind of

defensive forehand. From Novak that

we cannot just take for granted

these days but it's not easy to do

and yet somehow he managed to force

his way to the net.

Incidentally, the last second serve

was 178 km/h from Novak, no residue

would appear from those double

faults early on in this match. Well,

maybe there is.

maybe there is. Mini-break goes the

way of the South Korean.

Bigger first set for Chung?

Definitely. The physical toil is a

bit of an unknown for Novak out

here. I don't think Chung will be

too disappointed in some respects if

you lost it in terms of the fact of

how long it's gone.

It's breathtaking. APPLAUSE

In every sense of the word. The

longest rally of the match. 26

strokes, each of them had a purpose.

How good was the backhand down the

line late on in the rally? There was

not much follow-through, just a

little flick of the wrist, just

prior to that.

The height over the

net to give it the depth and then

the finish. It was a masterpiece of

a point from Novak.

Serbian fans in

the house taking to their feet after

that one. Still locked in this

tie-break very much in the balance.

APPLAUSE

That is terrific.

That is terrific. Feels like his

forehand has gone up a level in this

breaker. He is needed to match the

challenge he is now under from

Djokovic.

Djokovic. To do with a couple of

first serves here, the former world

number one. -- could do.

He got the first serve.

He's

breathing hard. The urgency to get

the toll there was obvious. --

towel.

Two forehands go astray and Chung

has got three set points here. 3-31

Chung Hebdo is terrific forehands to

go up 4-3, right at the end Novak

was stretching with one arm to chip

it back and then he flexed his elbow

at the end of it and he's just done

it again after that missed forehand.

Not sure about that coal air.

Djokovic going for broke, really. --

call there.

CHEERING

That there is an outstanding finish

to such an impressive set, given the

way it unfolded, he had a grip of it

early, seemed to let it slip but

under way to take it, Chung wins the

first 7-6. STUDIO: A remarkable

first set of tennis from the South

Korean and the Novak Djokovic

struggling in the tie-break, he

called for the trainer to receive

treatment on the right elbow that

kept him out of tennis for six

months. How would he fare in the

second set? We join with Djokovic

serving at one love.

Djokovic couldn't even move for that

one. Totally flat-footed.

Just got a shot of Mark Webber and.

Former Formula 1 driver.

Problems mounting.

I just think he

is winded. The intensity of the

points, it's just phenomenal. At his

peak, yeah, that would play into his

hands but he's not at that I would

say Peter match fitness yet.

say Peter match fitness yet.

Made

it.

it. The Korean is upset and a break.

STUDIO: Back but Djokovic would

break back. We return to the match

with the Serbians serving to stay in

the Senate.

COMMENTATOR: Obviously fortunate but

also perhaps deserving of it. He's

got after this ball, really taken it

to Novak and he's got the benefit.

He went coast-to-coast and Chung was

still there. I don't understand the

logic of more points being called by

luck with net calls off the server.

It happens in college.

Where is the enhancement value of

the fan if points are decided by

luck of the 130 mph serve? It

doesn't seem to have any common

sense at all.

Felt good. But not good enough to

challenge.

That was a decent return wasn't it?

Every return again, Djokovic just

caught by surprise.

Chung two points away from the two

set lead. Beautiful delivery.

set lead. Beautiful delivery. That

was exactly as he imagined it as he

was standing on the baseline

bouncing the ball. That is where he

wanted to play set, enough pace to

get it away from Chung.

Everyone could see him shaking his

elbow after the first serve. The

discomfort is seemingly there again.

No ACs to offset the eight double

faults now for Djokovic.

Little look up to his team from

Chung.

Chung.

They can hardly contain their

excitement as their man is at set

point here.

Remarkable defence! And the

21-year-old Chung Hyeon has the six

time former champion on the ropes.

STUDIO: Into set free and it was

Cheung De Jong who continue to take

the game to Djokovic, the former

world number one was now in real

trouble and we pick up the action

with the South Korean serving at

3-1.

Just going back to Novak's serve, it

does not have to go to a fifth set,

it could be 3-set, where he has not

served at ace, the lowest I can see

is against Gael Monfils at the US

Open, this is not including Davis

Cup, that was just three aces in

five sets.

That was all the way back in 2005

and his serve got much better. Just

an illustration, not a single ace

tonight so far in two and a half

long sets. But his application has

been exemplary. The man seeded 14 in

these championships.

LAUGHTER

That is one of the most ridiculous

rallies you will ever see. How good

was that from Chung? I mean, it was

good from Djokovic as well, because

he brought the best out of Chung.

You have more chance of moving Table

Mountain than Chung out of that

backhand corner. He is an immovable

force.

It's hard to put into words the

quality you see isn't it? His

ability in a situation like that to

keep pressing because Djokovic has

got four or five balls back into

play here, he is thinking against

everyone else in the world that is

done and he is still there. Little

look up towards his corner.

Oh! Can you believe it?

This might

be the game of the year.

I am always

going to be biased but when I watch

tennis like this I think it's the

best sport ever. The athleticism,

the eye hand coordination, the

control, under pressure. All the

facets you need to produce points

like this.

He has painted the line. His

reflection, his face says it all. No

words needed from us.

Open stance as well. Having just

played the four appointees had to

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

play.

I think if he is wondering if he was

away for six months or six years,

how the game has changed! That had

everything, testosterone and

velocity. His pride has taken a bit

of a dent here.

The young man may be thought he was

there but he's not there just yet.

Djokovic breaks back. STUDIO: Novak

Djokovic digging deep to keep

himself in the match, the rest of

the set went with serve until the

tie-break, were something would have

to give.

COMMENTATOR: Winner of the next gen

finals in Milan in early November,

Chung Hyeon.

I don't think he should have been

there, do you? Never made it beyond

the semifinal of the tour level

event. Could well be the first

break-out.

With shots like that!

For a guy that for a while had a

forehand that many felt perhaps

would end up being a liability he's

got more winners tonight than

Djokovic of that particular wing.

Is that going to prove fatal?

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

up his considerable powers on the

return. We've seen it over the

years, more so against Federer in

that epic semifinal with the

forehand return on match point down.

Wasn't quite as impressive but very

valuable. Just the fact he got it

back into play, it was a good first

serve from Chung.

Djokovic has to laugh.

If he had won

that point I think we might have all

gone home.

We would not have been

far off.

How is this guy is athleticism? He

was pushed to Sydney and back and he

still got here and almost pulled off

the forehand, you can only laugh.

Two big points for Djokovic.

I'm a

little sobriety is not gone after

the second serve in this manner,

he's got the capability, big targets

and plenty of velocity on the

return. That would be my only minor

criticism of his performance

tonight.

tonight. That is the serve I don't

think he's found with the same

accuracy as he once did before the

elbow injury which kept him out of

the game for six months.

Went back to his favoured serve. It

was good enough.

Opening three points won by the man

from Korea. The second three

bouncing back nicely from Djokovic.

Huge roar from the crowd. This has

been a treat. Full house once again

inside this magnificent stadium.

3-3.

He did everything right apart from

the final shot, Novak. Biding his

time until he got the ball to take

on but just could not take the

opportunity.

To good! CHEERING

APPLAUSE

Running out of superlatives for this

guy.

Lapping it up.

21 years of age. Chung Hyeon. On the

cusp of despatching the six time

former champion.

Please. Quiet please.

Please.

Chung Hyeon is into the

quarterfinals of the Australian

Open! He becomes the first Korean

ever to make the last eight at a

major. That was a performance that

will live long in the memory. It's

just the start of his career. It's

going to be a good one. He is

through.

Two years ago you played Novak here

in the first round and he beat you

in straight sets, this time we have

beaten him in the fourth round in

straight sets, how did you do it?

I

don't know. I am really just happy,

I am honoured to play with Novak

again, I'm happy to see him on the

tour.

It was an amazing match, we

are happy to see Novak on the tour,

I think a lot of us are happy to see

you playing the way you are playing.

So many of the shots that you hit

were amazing, incredible. How do you

hit those shots from the corner, the

flexibility, it's like watching

Novak do it but it is you! LAUGHTER

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

am just trying to copy Novak because

he is my idol.

LAUGHTER

You have done an amazing job.

It's difficult to be the champion,

always. You were up 3-0 in the

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

you walked around the net what did

you think because you played

beautiful after that?

I just think

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

lose I have a chance, two more sets

so I am ready to play two more

hours, I am younger than Novak so I

don't care!

You are definitely

younger than him but he is pretty

fit. But for this tournament your

best results in a Grand Slam in a

major was the third round at the

French Open and now you are into the

quarterfinals, can you believe it?

I

cannot believe this tonight, dreams

come true tonight.

STUDIO: What a

story, nerveless stuff from Chung

Hyeon. Beating Novak Djokovic in

straight sets, unfazed by the

pressure in the final tie-break and

he is through not only to his first

Grand Slam quarterfinal but a first

for South Korea as well.

The fearless are here. The Winter

Olympics. Starts the 9th of February

across the BBC.

What a month it will be for South

Korea with the Winter Olympics

coming up in just 18 days' time and

now they have a Grand Slam

quarterfinalist, Chung Saint Novak

Djokovic was his idol. If he was at

all-star trucks today it did not

show. Novak Djokovic might not be

entirely over his injury but you

cannot take anything away from Chung

with how he played today. The other

fourth-round business is also

concluded. Tomas Berdych beat Fabio

Fognini in straight sets. Bit of a

shock coming up, Rob number five

Dominic Thiem of Austria beaten in

five sets by Tennys Sandgren. Roger

Federer remains on course for his

20th Grand Slam beating Marton

Fucsovics. Tomas Berdych is next to

him.

We have had some good ones

going all the way back to the Athens

Olympics in 2004. I am looking

forward to playing against him, he

seems in good shape and I am happy

he's over his back issues which he

also had at the end of last year so

that's a good thing.

Some brilliant

quarterfinals forward to. The match

we will focus on, Grigor Dimitrov

against Kyle Edmund of Britain.

The line-up for the men's

quarterfinals is complete and so too

for the women, for a while it looked

like 2016 champion Angelique Kerber

would be the next high-profile

victim of Hsieh Su-wei of Chinese

Taipei who has already dispatched

Garbine Muguruza and Agnieszka

Radwanska but Angelique Kerber came

through after dropping the first set

to continue our unbeaten start of

the season.

I had a tough off-season

and right now I try to enjoy it and

I know I played good, I played

really good the last few games and

matches and completely different

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

a great feeling to be back on the

quarters.

This is how the line-up.

Karolina Pliskova was briefly top of

the rankings last summer.

All the hallmarks of a thriller,

Kerber's self belief returned and

Keys out to revenge her US Open

final loss. Plenty of other sports

to enjoy across the BBC.

We will stick to the sunnier climes

of Melbourne with more highlights

tomorrow afternoon. We will feature

the quarterfinal clash between Kyle

Edmund and Grigor Dimitrov. If you

cannot wait to find out the result

set your alarms for 3:30am when our

colleagues on the radio will have

live coverage. I suspect we will all

be looking a bit bleary eyed when we

come back with the highlights

tomorrow afternoon, get the copy on

and enjoy the early-morning party

with Andy Murray who has been waking

up early to cheer on his friends

throughout the tournament. Can Kyle

Edmund pull off the biggest win of

his career?

First time in the fourth

round in Australia. Moving into his

first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal.

Kyle Edmund, two match points.

Edmund has done it. He has let on to

the air. He will
