Roger Federer is happy to see Kyle Edmund and Chung Hyeon make their breakthroughs at the Australian Open to bring fresh blood to the sport.

Chung defeated Tennys Sandren 6-4 7-6 (7/5) 6-3 to follow Edmund into the semi-finals at Melbourne Park. It is the first time for 10 years that an unseeded male player has made it to the semi-finals of a slam and the first time since 1999 that there have been two unseeded men through.
