British No. 1 and world No. 19 Cameron Norrie secured his best grand slam victory by defeating the No. 11 seed Casper Ruud with scores of 6-4, 6-7 (7-9), 6-4, 6-3, advancing to the last-16 of the Australian Open for the first time. Daniil Medvedev, world No. 3, continued his winning streak against Félix Auger-Aliassime, triumphing in straight sets 6-3, 6-4, 6-3, to also reach the last 16. He will next face Portuguese player Nuno Borges, ATP No. 69, who made history by becoming the first Portuguese man to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open after his victory over No. 13 seed Grigor Dimitrov with scores of 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2, 7-6(6). Borges' remarkable run included his first top-20 victory and his best Grand Slam performance to date. Alexander Zverev, No. 6 seed, advanced to the round of 16 with a straight-set victory over American Alex Michelsen, winning 6-2, 7-6(4), 6-2.
Alexander Zverev d. Cam Norrie 7-5, 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6(10-3) When it mattered the most, the mistakes were all on one side of the net. Zverev into an 11th Grand Slam QF (third at the AO) to face Kecmanovic or Alcaraz. Cam Norrie...please play this way for the rest of 2024? Thx.

That was a pretty calamitous end to the third set from Medvedev, double faulting all over the place to lose five games in a row from 5-2 up. He looks as pleased about it as you'd expect. Borges saved a couple of match points impressively. #AusOpen

World #3 Daniil Medvedev takes a 67-minute 2nd set, leads Nuno Borges 6-3, 7-6(4). Very close set, Nuno had his chances. Was a minibreak up in the tiebreak but then lost three consecutive serve points, including a fairly easy volley at *3-4. #AusOpen https://t.co/eIFnLaHdGH
Borges 26/32 at the net, usually a good tactic vs. Medvedev. https://t.co/2UosshLgn2
Medvedev double faults and Borges breaks back. Maybe Daniil isn't that comfy. Game on. https://t.co/dlB8G6LFKK
Borges broken from 40-15 with three poor errors. Happening once a set, very costly at this level. Medvedev comfortable and in control, 6-3, *4-3.
POINT! Great to see Borges using the drop shot against Medvedev. Missed two in this game but then found two very good ones under pressure. 3-6, 2-1*
Medvedev 6-3. Nuno lost his forehand for 10 minutes and that was costly. Can't happen against a player like Daniil. #AusOpen. https://t.co/8KQWrVOoHL

✅ BIGGEST win of his career ✅ FIRST top-20 victory ✅ BEST Grand Slam run ✅ FIRST Portuguese man through to the 4R at #AusOpen Not a bad night for @nunoborges97 😎 https://t.co/vU3nP3nXQC
Grigor's looking dangerous...to himself. Down two sets to one vs Nuno Borges, came back from 1-4 down in the tie-breaker to give himself a set point, and double-faulted. Borges, who had never won back-to-back Tour-level matches before this AO, wins 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2, 7-6(6).
One of the biggest men's singles shocks of this #AusOpen so far: #13 Grigor Dimitrov, the resurgent recent Brisbane champion, falls in four sets to Portugal's Nuno Borges. Borges, the ATP #69 who played college tennis at Mississippi State, wins 6-7(3), 6-4, 6-2, 7-6(6).
