DAY SEVEN HIGHLIGHTS

Day Six was dominated by Nick Kyrgios' five-set epic as he set up a so-called grudge match with Rafael Nadal. Day Seven has plenty to offer, with men's world number two Novak Djokovic taking on Argentina's Diego Schwartzman. Roger Federer is also in action as he faces Marton Fucsovics. In the women's draw, home favourite Ash Barty faces America's Alison Riske. Coco Gauff is also into the fourth round where she will play Sofia Kenin.

MATCH OF THE DAY

If home favourite Ash Barty wants to reach the fifth round in Melbourne then she will need to negotiate the tricky Alison Riske. Riske is ranked 18th, and while Barty should expect to win, there is no guarantee that her opponent will make it easy. This match could easily go the distance so she may need all the encouragement she can get from the crowd - but can a Rod Laver crowd conjure up the same atmosphere seen in Melbourne Arena with Kyrgios?

There will also be plenty of eyes on Roger Federer, facing unseeded Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, conqueror of Denis Shapovalov in the first round. Has he recovered from his five-set classic with John Millman? This is conceivably his last Australian Open before he brings the curtain down on his career, although you can never be sure with the Swiss great...

POTENTIAL UPSET OF THE DAY

Novak Djokovic has been talking up his serve , he has only dropped one set all tournament and that was way back in his first match. However, his next opponent is the 14th-ranked Diego Schwartzman who is yet to drop a set and may provide sterner resistance than any of the Serbian's opponents thus far.

BRITWATCH

There are no more singles matches to watch for fans of British players, but Jamie Murray and American teammate Bethanie Mattek-Sands will face Marcelo Melo and Barbara Strycova in the first round of the mixed doubles.

Meanwhile, in the third round of the men's doubles, Jonny O'Mara and Argentina's Marceloa Arevalo face Australian duo John Peers and Michael Venus, who will inevitably attract most of the crowd's support.
