    Nick Krygios, speaking on court: "Tsonga is a great guy, a champion of the game, someone I looked up to as a kid. I was just happy to get through.

    "To be in the locker room with these guys, the first year especially, was surreal.

    "I have got a tough match against Grigor Dimitrov tomorrow now.

    "He is an amazing athlete who finished the year strongly last year, and the best-of-five sets might suit him."

    On Will Smith's presence courtside: "When I saw him out here, I was so nervous. I just wanted him to think I was cool!"

    Up next for Nick Kyrgios? Grigor Dimitrov.

    Kyrgios beat Dimitrov in Brisbane a few weeks back, on his way to claiming the title. It should be a corker.

    Australia have not always been convinced by Nick Kyrgios, but that was a performance to win over his home fans. Such flair, such heart.

  10. Postpublished at 11:35 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

    Kyrgios was 2-5 down in that tie-break and I honestly thought we were settling in for a fifth set.

    What fight he's shown out there. The celebration - pumping his arms, screaming at his box, yelling in delight - says it all.

    Long goes the Tsonga forehand! He grimaces and touches his right knee.

    And Kyrgios claws back another point! Brilliant work, wrong-footing Tsonga up at the net, and again, his opponent clutches as his knee.

    Aggression from Kyrgios, swiping a forehand through Tsonga's racquet.

    Change of ends, but more fine work up at the net from Tsonga, covering all of Kyrgios' shots, put him within one point of forcing a decider.
