Zverev may well be a great player in the future - surely he will - but at the moment he just can't hack it in the grand slams. Weird, given he has won masters tittles and is ranked #4 in the world.

Kyrigos can win this if he can keep himself under control.

Probably kiss of death but worth a small wager @9/1

This morning's popcorn match - Kyrgios v Dimitrov. :)

Kyle Edmund a set down, has had a medical time out and looks wiped out from the 5 set match in the extreme heat on Friday. His opponent is also playing very high level tennis as well, which doesn't help.

Kyle Edmund makes the QF of the Australian Open. Rises to 35 in the rankings. Signed up with a top coach last autumn and making real progress.
