Nevermind, Milos was able to hold off the surge.

Another game for Milos!

Well real good chance to make the SF now, Coric or Pouille should be beatable if Milos has the serve and forehand on. Beating Novak is probably impossible, but just getting there will be nice for the ranking.

Milos has been doing some work in the gym, he's got some pretty impressive pipes.

Nishikori is going to upset Novak.

Cool as a cucumber.

Huge to wrap that match up in 2 hours and get into the ice bath as quick as possible.

As many on the site know, I’m a bit of a degen, so hitting on Milos at +104 is a great feeling. Adds to the already incredible day of betting I’ve already had.

Nishikori might not make it past today!

That's true and I'm curious to see if Medvedev can give Novak some trouble. I can see him taking a set off Joker, but that's probably all he will get.

I think Milo's winning in a short time-frame is also a big deal with his injury history.

Get some rest and hope the other matches run to 5 sets.

Another match for Milos! Great showing this grand slam. Also for dispatching of Kyprios and Zverev I will not refer to him as a one trick pony for the rest of the year!

[Erick Estrada]

Such a weird match. Zverev was awful but at the same time Milos was playing really well and the more clutch plays he made the more Zverev would unravel.

[Resolute 14]

Saw Zverev's little racket breaking temper tantrum. Not a good day at the office.

That was in the first set. Way to go off the rails so early how can a guy like that win anything.

Kei survives but just barely.

Kei's got no gas left for Djokovic. I'd be surprised if he even plays.

I thought that happened in the second set? When he was down by a lot.

How do world rankings work? Will Milos' ranking improve from 16 after this event?

Milos' ranking will definitely improve (he is already up three spots based on his Aussie Open performance to date).

As far as how the rankings work, it's basically the following: Points are earned at every tournament during a 52-week stretch, the amount of which are determined by how far players advance in said event. The flip side is that it means the player has more points to defend the following year at the same tournament. Let's say Milos wins his next match and makes the semi-finals. That's great for his ranking and obviously his wallet this year, but it also means he needs to make the semi-finals next year just to defend those ranking points.

He'll play, but the tank is empty.
