On the men’s side, No. 3 seed Rafael Nadal will be in action against No. 7 Tomas Berdych. Both men dominated their Round of 16 opponents, as Berdych took down Bernard Tomic and Nadal bested Kevin Anderson. The other matchup will feature No. 6 Andy Murray against unseeded Nick Kyrgios. Murray is coming off the biggest match of the tournament thus far, a solid win over No. 10 seed Grigor Dimitrov in four sets.
Kyrgios isn’t an easy win by any stretch of the imagination. He is coming off a win over Andreas Seppi, who eliminated No. 2 Roger Federer in the third round of the tournament. Kyrgios also has the home crowd on his side, especially after Tomic was eliminated in the Round of 16.
On the women’s side, No. 2 Maria Sharapova and No. 3 Simona Halep will both be in action. The day’s matches will begin with Haelp, who will be taking on No. 10 Ekaterina Makarova. Then, Sharapova will face off with seventh seed Eugenie Bouchard.
Matches will get underway at 6 p.m. ET on the Tennis Channel Monday night. That will run through 9 p.m., at which point ESPN2 will pick up coverage until 2 a.m., where they'll break for an hour before running from 3-6 a.m. Those hoping to watch online can do so at WatchESPN or the Australian Open website.
