The Australian Open men's doubles semi-finals were attended by a packed home crowd.

The Special Ks beat sixth seeds Tim Puetz and Michael Venus.

The young boy in the crowd was hit by a racquet that was given to him by the man.

As long as I am playing this sport and playing in Australia, you will have a show.

They have beaten three seeded pairs, including the top seeds, on their way to the last four.

"Unreal scenes", said Kyrgios. I want to win this thing.

The Wimbledon junior titleholders will play third seeds Granollers and Zeballos next.

There is no feeling like it when we walk through that tunnel.

We don't want anything else. The rowdier the better. Keep rustling some feathers.
