Fed has been off but fair play to kokkinakis, he has been going for it. See who wins from here.

Kokk does what Kyrgios couldn't do at Miami last year, beating Fed in a 3rd set breaker.
Happy for the kid. He's had a lot of misfortune with his body, so it's fantastic that he gets this result in his career. Beating world number 1 Federer in a masters event is the biggest win of his career to date.

This won't get any news in the press today. What a result. Hopefully he can build on it and reach that injury enforced untapped potential.
Also, it keeps up feds streak in losing to players ranked in over #100. Loses the number 1 ranking as well and the first time he has lost 2 in a row as a number 1 player as well I have heard.
Also, Halep will be #1 till at least the French open.

Wow! That's a better Australian sports story to wake up to!

When Kyrgios and Kokk played the junior final at AO everyone was saying leading in that Kyrgios would win but Kokk would be the better player long term. Not sure even injury free that would be the case but like you said would definitely be a top 30 player if his body held up.

Was an excellent performance to follow this morning. So glad for the Kokk, always a player oozing in likeability. Had to get through Qualies, so don't expect him to get far, but to take out Federer like that at a Masters tournament is a career highlight. Still, I'd rather take a healthy run with injuries over beating Federer and then getting injured again, hope his body holds up for him.

Betting her performance improves once she stops breastfeeding / more time elapses since she stopped breastfeeding.

Possible given the start of the AFL and the cricket, but Thanasi's injury travails make me think this is a certainty to get a mention on Offsiders this morning, albeit maybe a bit last minute.
Because why give good publicity to a young aussie beating Fed when you give bad publicity to Tomic for losing in a Challenger
I think more referring to the ball tampering situation taking all the spotlight this morning.
Yep all it got was a 10 second mention at the end of the offsiders program.

And Caro's mention of his name almost sounds like she'd never heard of him! She noted it as a notable statistical upset which instigated a top ranking change, also valid news/historical points, but yes, the way she worded him as some no-name was surprising but realistic I guess. Kelly nicely cleaned up with the "Adelaide boy" mention. But it might be a misreading on my part.

Amazing win for Thanasi!!!! Rapt for him after all his injury issues 
I did hear it mentioned on an SEN news bulletin this morning but sadly the cricket fiasco is preoccupying most of the sports news today.

Kyrgios also had an easy win. Faces fognini next and verdasco for thanasi.

Australia will not be playing attention. so it is a good time to face Foginni for the first time. That match could be anything. I feel for the umpire.
Barty won comfortably overnight and gavrilova is just about to get into the 3rd set against Svitolina.
