Nick Kyrgios told Grigor Dimitrov to believe he can win the Australian Open after the Bulgarian came out on top of a fierce battle under the lights on Rod Laver Arena. Kyrgios appears to have largely won over a sceptical Australian public with his professional approach to the tournament and showed plenty of heart and fight as he tried to reach another grand slam quarter-final. Edmund fought off weariness and Andreas Seppi to reach his first grand slam quarter-final in a tough battle. Edmund struck 63 winners, including 25 aces, and his reward will be that blockbuster last-eight clash with third seed Dimitrov. My goal in this year is to win a grand slam.
