LIVE: Demon on court, Kyrgios' big shot at Wimbledon QFs as FOUR Aussies chase 48-year first.

Tomljanovic beat Cornet in the second round last year on her way to a best-ever quarterfinal appearance. The last time four Australians reached the quarters in men’s and women’s singles in any slam was 1981. World No. 27 de Minaur faces No. 43 Cristian Garin of Chile, a difficult rival who late last year was ranked as high as 17th in the world. But should all four win tonight, it would be the first time Australia had four quarterfinalists since 1974 when Rod Laver, John Newcombe, Evonne Goolagong and Kerry Melville each reached that stage. Follow the action in our live blog below. Kyrgios is one of four Australians in the round of 16 in action tonight – nor the only to be up against a tricky American opponent.

Nick Kyrgios vs Brandon Nakashima LIVE: Aussie sparks injury ... (Daily Express)

NICK KYRGIOS can take a step closer towards Wimbledon glory when he takes on Brandon Nakashima today.

Nakashima gets Kyrgios on his backfoot and forces him to slice into the net to level up. But Nakashima spurns two of them, first double-faulting before finding the net. A spurred-on Kyrgios then hits another great forehand winner to level up at 30-30. Signs that the pressure could be getting to Kyrgios here. It draw murmurs from the crowd. When Kyrgios serves well, he is more or less unstoppable. Nakashima was very positive in that match and went after Kyrgios' serve. Anyone who thought this would be straightforward for the Aussie, were clearly very wrong. The crowd let out a big cheer... Kyrgios sends one long and just like that his lead is gone. Kyrgios then goes long with his shot to bring up deuce. Not much chance of returning that then.

Kyrgios cracks in Wimbledon boilover (NEWS.com.au)

After endless discussion about Nick Kyrgios' emotional state it's his body letting him down as his dreams of making a run at a Wimbledon title hang by a ...

The Aussie entered the match a strong favourite to progress to the quarterfinals but dropped the first set as he found the 20-year-old American’s serve difficult to deal with in the early stages of the match. Kyrgios rode his serve to level the match at a set apiece 4-6 6-4 but called for the physio again midway through the third set as he sat despondently on the side of the court. After a week of sensational headlines – and play – Nick Kyrgios’ Wimbledon campaign could be over in the blink of an eye.

Wimbledon 2022 LIVE: Nick Kyrgios vs Brandon Nakashima latest ... (Evening Standard)

There were warnings and code violations galore in a match that will live long in the memory, with both players receiving fines as a result of their conduct.

A stunning forehand return hands a foot to his opponent’s left, but the Aussie is again flat-footed, to seal the game. Nakashima hits two aces on the way to a love hold to kick off the third set. An awkward bounce on Nakashima’s return wrong-foots him and he then sends a simple backhand long to bring his opponent level on 30-30. Kyrgios had already been fined after admitting to spitting towards a spectator and calling a line judge a “snitch” as he lamented abuse from fans earlier in the tournament. After wins over Paul Jubb and Filip Krajinovic, Kyrgios outlasted No4 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas in a third-round epic for the ages on Saturday night. The controversial Australian is in superb form, though his fiery on-court antics have once again threatened to take the shine off some brilliant performances.

Wimbledon – Nakashima v Kyrgios, Garín beats De Minaur and ... (The Guardian)

It seems really weird that people want tennis to be popular but don't realise one of the barriers to that popularity is its perception as an upper class sport ...

An early break in the fourth set, with Garin, in the ascendancy and the beneficiary of De Minaur missing a gaper of a chance at the net. Good serve and it’s 2-1 De Minaur. Garin spots the chance for a winner but then misjudges his forehand. Already, Kyrgios is having an open dialogue with the umpire though it all seems to be cordial so far, and he is let sprawling by a lovely passing shot from his opponent. De Minaur looked the better player for much of the match and much of the decider, but when it came to the p-r-e-s-s-u-r-e, Garin found better lengths and better weight of shot. Anyway, Rybakina says Martic improved through the match but she’s pleased with how she responded and after watching Wimbledon on telly as a kid, she’s happy to move on. But he’s got the trainer out for his shoulder, so we have a little break with Nakashima leading 3-2 in the third. He’ll be in one himself, though, if he loses to Garin having led by two sets to love, but he leads 5-4 in the decider and still looks the likelier winner. Nakashima closes to 2-3, but when it’s Kyrgios’ go, he spanks down a brutal ace ... talking of which, Garin unfurls a murderous forehand during a brutal rally, which he parlays into the first mini-break of that breaker. He tells us Wimbledon is his favourite tournament, he tried to be aggressive in the breaker, and he’s worked all his life for this. He says De Minaur is one of the best players on grass, and when it’s posited that clay is his favourite surface, he says now grass is. No one saw that coming amid all the aces, but credit to the kid: he hung in there, saw his chance, and seized it. Phew! Elsewhere, Fritz has broken Kubler at the start of set two – he’s all over him really, and as I type that he breaks again for 6-3 3-0.
