London, Great Britain, 4 July 2022 | Leigh Rogers

Four Australian players – Alex de Minaur, Nick Kyrgios, Jason Kubler and Ajla Tomljanovic – have advanced to the fourth round in the Wimbledon singles competition.

This is the most to reach this stage at the All England Club since 1999, when Pat Rafter, Mark Philippoussis, Wayne Arthurs and Jelena Dokic all contested the round of 16.

“You make it this far in the draw, you’re feeling good, seeing the ball pretty big,” noted world No.40 Kyrgios.

“I’m super proud with Aussies being this far and still capable of doing some damage at Wimbledon. It’s good to see.”

De Minaur, Kyrgios, Kubler and Tomljanovic all feature in fourth-round matches on the day eight schedule. In total, 12 Aussie players are in action on what looms as an unmissable Monday.

Play begins from 8pm AEST and is broadcast live in Australia on the Nine Network and Stan Sport.

Aussies in action:

[19] Alex de Minaur (AUS) v Cristian Garin (CHI)
Gentlemen’s singles, fourth round, No.2 Court, first match (from 8pm AEST)
De Minaur has advanced to the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time and is now targeting a second major quarterfinal appearance to match his US Open 2020 run. “I’m pretty happy with the position I’m in right now, so hopefully I can keep it going,” said the 23-year-old Australian. World No.27 De Minaur has never lost a set in three previous encounters with Garin, including at Eastbourne last month. This is the second year in a row that world No.43 Garin has made Wimbledon’s fourth round and the 26-year-old from Chile is hoping to progress to his first Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Head-to-head record: De Minaur leads 3-0
Last meeting: De Minaur won 6-3 6-3 (Eastbourne, June 2022)

Nick Kyrgios (AUS) v Brandon Nakashima (USA)
Gentlemen’s singles, fourth round, Centre Court, first match (from 10.30pm AEST)
Kyrgios has sensationally knocked out two seeded opponents, including world No.5 Stefanos Tsitsipas, to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time in six years. The world No.40 now faces Nakashima, a 20-year-old American enjoying a career-best Grand Slam run. “He’s obviously playing well. I’m not looking past that,” Kyrgios said of world No.56 Nakashima, who beat No.13 seed Denis Shapovalov in the second round. Kyrgios is aiming to reach his third career Grand Slam singles quarterfinal – and first since Australian Open 2015.
Head-to-head record: First career meeting

[Q] Jason Kubler (AUS) v [11] Taylor Fritz (USA)
Gentlemen’s singles, fourth round, No.1 Court, second match
World No.14 Fritz enters this fourth-round clash on a seven-match winning streak, having scooped an ATP title at Eastbourne on the eve of Wimbledon. The 24-year-old American is now looking to reach his maiden Grand Slam quarterfinal. So to is world No.99 Kubler, who is enjoying his own career-best major run. The 29-year-old Australian qualifier has won 22 of his past 25 matches, including his past six on grass. “I’m going to try as hard as I can and then just sort of see what happens,” said Kubler, who is aiming to record his career-first top-20 win.
Head-to-head record: Fritz leads 1-0
Last meeting: Fritz won 6-3 3-6 6-3 ret. (US Open, August 2018)
