A quick look at the Australian Open: LOOKAHEAD TO SUNDAY

Roger Federer faces one of the game’s up-and-coming talents when he takes on 20-year-old Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece in the fourth round. Tsitsipas is likely to have several hundred boisterous Greek fans at Rod Laver Arena. One of the many indication­s of the gap in success and experience between these two men: The 37-year-old Federer will be appearing in his 101st match at Melbourne Park’s main stadium; it will be Tsitsipas’ first. Rafael Nadal plays Tomas Berdych in a rematch of the 2010 Wimbledon final won by the Spaniard, and Frances Tiafoe of the U.S. plays Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria — who is being coached by Andre Agassi — in other fourthroun­d matches. On the women’s side, home favorite Ash Barty plays 2008 champion Maria Sharapova. Barty pulled out of doubles to concentrat­e on singles. Sloane Stephens, the

2017 U.S. Open champion, takes on Anastasia Pavlyuchen­kova, and 2016 Australian Open champ Angelique Kerber plays Danielle Collins. SATURDAY’S KEY RESULTS Men’s 3rd round: No. 1 Novak Djokovic beat No. 25 Denis Shapovalov 6-3, 6-4, 4-6, 6-0; No.
