정현, 조코비치 꺾고 호주오픈 8강 쾌거
Amazing scenes down under on Monday night as an up-and-coming Korean tennis player defeated the former world number 1, Novak Djokovic, to make it to the quarterfinals of the Australian Open. With the remarkable victory,... Chung Hyeon becomes the first ever Korean player to make the last eight of a Grand Slam event. Park Soyun reports. South Korea's Chung Hyeon -- ranked 58th in the world -- played a superb match, cruising to victory over former world-number-one Novak Djokovic in a stunning 7-6, 7-5, 7-6 win at the Australian Open. The 21-year-old always looked in command of the match and held his nerve in the third set to win the tiebreaker and seal his spot in the final eight. His latest victory proved his win over world-number-4, Alexander Zverev, in the previous round -- was no fluke. Monday's win marks a remarkable change of fortunes for the two players. Just two years ago,... Chung lost to Djokovic in straight sets at the 2016 Australian Open. Djokovic complimented Chung for his great performance, saying he deserved to win. And Chung could barely contain his joy after beating the man he looked up to as a boy. On Wednesday, Chung will face American Tennys Sandgren, ranked 97th in the world and another surprise quarter-finalist. Koreans around the world will be tuning in,... hoping Chung can keep his historic run going in Melbourne and make it to the semis. Park Soyun, Arirang News.
