Australian Open - Day nine LIVE on SEVEN
Aussie teenage sensation Nick Kyrgios will carry the hopes of a nation in his Australian Open quarter final battle against Great Britain’s Andy Murray Tuesday night LIVE from Rod Laver Arena on Channel 7 from 7pm AEDT.
First up on court in prime time, Kyrgios will be aiming to exact revenge against Murray at Melbourne Park after he went down to the world no. 6 last year at the Canadian Masters.
Late afternoon, world no. 3 Rafael Nadal takes on seventh seed Tomas Berdych, with the Spaniard enjoying a 19-3 advantage in the head-to-head record. The winner will then go to a semi-final against either Kyrgios or Murray.
