Roger Federer’s quest for a record seventh Australian Open title has come crashing to a dramatic halt with a shock fourth-round loss to Greek prodigy Stefanos Tsitsipas.

In a scintillating contest on Rod Laver Arena on Sunday night, 37-year-old Federer could not overcome his 20-year-old opponent who claimed a 6-7 (11-13) 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 7-6 (7-5) victory to continue his magical run at Melbourne Park.

The 14th-seeded Tsitsipas will face Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut in the quarter-finals and could meet Rafael Nadal in the final four.
