The third round of the Australian Open is over and both singles brackets have been narrowed down to just 16 competitors. In the top half of the draw, both of the top seeds — Andy Murray and Angelique Kerber — are still remaining and both will face unseeded competition in the Round of 16.

Play in Melbourne for the start of the fourth round will take place on Sunday. In the United States, play will actually get underway on Saturday evening and will run through Sunday morning. On Saturday, play will begin at 9 p.m. ET and will be broadcast by ESPN2. A live stream will also be available online at WatchESPN.
Murray will be taking on unseeded Mischa Zverev in his matchup. Kerber will face the tough, but also unseeded Coco Vandeweghe.
Men’s fourth seed Stan Wawrinka and 12th seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga will also face unseeded opponents in Andreas Seppi and Daniel Evans, respectively. Fifth seed Kei Nishikori will have the toughest go of it, as he has to face No. 17 Roger Federer.
On the women’s side, it’s a very similar spread, with three unseeded players taking on seeded players. Other than Vandeweghe taking on Kerber, seventh seed Garbine Muguruza will take on unseeded Sorana Cirstea and No. 13 Venus Williams will face Mona Barthel.
And like Nishikori, women’s eighth seed Svetlana Kuznetsova will have the toughest out, having to face No. 24 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
