Australian Open QFs - Djokovic defies Alcaraz, Gauff falls short and Swiatek's VAR ball drama

We're down to the Final 8 in Melbourne Park with Kim and Chris ready to catch up on all the Quarter Final action from the Australian Open. In the men's draw, 10-time Champion Novak Djokovic defied injury and expectation to defeat Carlos Alcaraz in 4 sets whilst Jannik Sinner continued his dominance down under with a thrashing of home hope Alex de Minaur.

On the women’s side, Coco Gauff is out to a resurgent Paula Badosa, who will play her good friend and defending Champion Aryna Sabalenka in the semi finals after Sabalenka survived a scare from Pavlyuchenkova. Iga Swiatek carried on her one-sided scoreline dominance over Emma Navarro although controversy arose with a dodgy double bounce debate! 

In other news, a feather stopped play between Alexander Zverev and Tommy Paul much to the German's annoyance whilst the team give an update on Collect a Set (spoiler alert: scores struggling across the board!).
