ROD LAVER ARENA (11 a.m. start)

[8] Dominic Thiem (AUT) vs [11] David Goffin (BEL) – The winner here has a great opportunity to be in the semifinal round and take their chances for anything beyond that.

[6] Gael Monfils (FRA) vs [9] Rafael Nadal (ESP) – Rafa is a terrible match up for Gael. Nadal can likely elicit enough errors to win in 3 or 4 sets.

MARGARET COURT ARENA

[15] Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) vs [WC] Denis Istomin (UZB) – Grigor’s Brisbane title and domination of Gasquet have him on the rise. 

HISENSE ARENA

[3] Milos Raonic (CAN) vs [13] Roberto Bautista Agut (ESP) – Milos’ serve will need to be the difference because if this turns into a match determined by rallies RBA wins.
