Australian Open 2018 schedule: Day 7 order of play including Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios
THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN is starting to move towards the sharp end and Day 7 has severed up some mouth-watering match-ups featuring Rafael Nadal and Nick Kyrgios.
GETTY
Nadal has hardly broken sweat on his way to the fourth round, dispatching the No 28 seed Damir Dzumhur for the loss of just five games.
The world No 1 will now face Argentina’s Diego Schwartzman in the third match of the day on Rod Laver Arena after two all-seeded match-ups from the women’s draw.
The evening sessions will see Australia’s last remaining representative face one of the biggest matches of his career.
Kyrgios won his first title on home soil in Brisbane two weeks ago and will now look to return to the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in two years with a win over No 3 seed Grigor Dimitrov.
