The Australian Open got a massive shakeup on its fourth day, as men’s second seed Novak Djokovic and women’s third seed Agnieszka Radwanska were both eliminated. That makes things a whole lot easier for the likes of Andy Murray and Angelique Kerber, the top seeds in both singles brackets.

The Australian Open will continue without Novak Djokovic and without Agnieszka Radwanska on Thursday and Friday.


Murray is now the heavy favorite, though he will face his first seeded opponent of the tournament on Friday in No. 31 Sam Querrey. Kerber is also the favorite, though Serena Williams is still in action in the other half of the draw. Kerber will take on Kristyna Pliskova for her third-round matchup on Friday.
Play for Friday actually gets underway on Thursday evening in the United States, and will wrap up on Friday morning. In Melbourne, all play will take place on Friday. The matches will get underway at 11 p.m. ET in the U.S., and will be broadcast on ESPN2. Live streams of all matches will be available online via WatchESPN.
There are plenty of other big names worth watching. The best match of the day is probably the showdown between Tomas Berdych and Roger Federer. A matchup that generally has been reserved for quarterfinals and semifinals in recent years, injuries derailed Federer’s 2016 season and he entered the Australian Open as the 17th seed.
He will be the underdog to Berdych, the 10th seed.
Fourth seed Stan Wawrinka will be taking on No. 29 Viktor Troicki and fifth seed Kei Nishikori will face Lukas Lacko. No. 12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will also face No. 23 seed and American Jack Sock.
On the women’s side, No. 7 Garbine Muguruza will take on No. 32 Anastasija Sevastova. Eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova will be taking on Jelena Jankovic to round out the matches with a top-10 player.
