Winner, winner chicken dinner! Go Alex! 🎾

As an Italian-Australian, I couldn't have asked for better results. 2 Italians and an Aussie are into the men's quarter finals. Well done Demon, the hard work is paying off!

Find out how well he's going next match mate up against Sinner.

I hope Demon persists with the body serve as Sinner has a wide leg/arm span. Hit it straight at him and make it uncomfortable for him to dig it out of his body.

1st serve needs a lot of improvement or he won't get a look in.

100% did you play tennis growing up?

I was picking the brains of a tennis coach when Alcaraz was on the practice court.

Think they said it was low 40s of first serves in .....

Won't win a set if he repeats that effort.

Definitely needs to improve that percentage. But in saying that, he has a very strong second serve. But, serving aside, how good was that match!!

Was praying he would get through it quickly Suzie so he had a good prep for Sinner looked the goods in the 1st set.

Yeah totally agree the rest of his game is looking great .....but from what I've seen his 1st serve % has been down all tournament ....need to lift further next match
