Schwartzman has been unreal, a player the top seeds will really want to avoid early on in the slam tournaments.
Nadal through in 4.
Schwartzman made that very tough for him but Nadal showed his mettle on the key points.
6-3 6-7 6-3 6-3
A lot tighter than the score might suggest, Nadal convertin 7 of his 18 break points, Schwartzman coverting 3 of his 18 break points.
Kyrgios and Dimitrov next.
Nadal will need to up his game for Cilic next.
Dimitrov has 2 sets up against Kyrgios, both sets won on tie breaks.
Kyrgios breaks in the third.
Scenes as Dimitrov breaks to go 5-3 up in the fourth and Kyrgios seems to be unravelling, but Dimitrov tightens up when serving for the match and is broken straight back
4th set tie break. Kyrgios is mad as a hatter. He’s good entertainment though.

3-3 in the tiebreak now
Dimitrov wins 7-6 7-6 4-6 7-6
Delighted that aussie cunt was knocked out.
Federer advances to the last 8 with a straight sets win over Fucsovics.
He couldn’t, could he ??
I see the AO has been accused of giving Federer preferential treatment.
How so?
Facilitating his requests to play in the evening time rather than in peak midday temperatures.

What are you talking about? Federer’s match started at 3 in the afternoon at peak temperatures. He’ll play Berdych at 11am on Wednesday.
He’s played his first three matches at evening time while Djokovic has had to play in the middle of the day at peak temperatures.
You’re a cheating apologist.

How is he cheating by playing at the times allocated to bim. Which are apparently morning, noon and night.
You’re sounding a little unhinged Nembo.
He is getting handed advantages that his other rivals are not, he has requested that.
It reminds me of Commodus wounding Maximus before their final battle. Federer does not like a level playing field.

Will Federer start requesting that his opponents should have to run a full marathon now before they play him? Or maybe he will request they play with one arm tied behind their back?
