Nick Kyrgios and Alex de Minaur – the light and shade of Australian men’s tennis – are tracking toward a mouth-watering quarter-final clash as part of Australia’s biggest second-week Wimbledon representation this century.

Making headlines as much for his relationship with English favourite Katie Boulter as his on-court exploits, the 19th-seeded de Minaur faces Chilean Cristian Garin to book a quarter-final start and a potential Kyrgios clash.
Tomljanovic too has a fine chance to match her 2021 quarter-finals appearance after upsetting 13th seed and former French Open champion Barbora Krejecikova, 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.
