Australian Open 2018: Day 8 round-up

What's next?

Nadal has been the dominant player so far

Day 9 will see top seed Rafael Nadal take on sixth seed Marin Cilic in what should be a closely contested match. Nadal is looking to improve on last year's performance, while Cilic is looking for his second Grand Slam title.

Third seed Grigor Dimitrov will play unseeded British player, Kyle Edmund, in a battle of NextGen players. Edmund believes he can win the title but before that he will need to get past the tenacious Bulgarian who is looking to win his first Grand Slam title as well.

In the ladies' competition, second seed Caroline Wozniacki will play unseeded Carla Suarez Navarro, while fourth seed Elina Svitolina takes on unseeded Elise Martens.
