The quarter finals of the 2012 Australian Open take place on Tuesday with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both looking to reach the final four of the year's first Grand Slam.
The second week of the 2012 Australian Open began in spectacular fashion on Monday with a number of seeds exiting the competition. Serena Williams was eliminated in straight sets by Ekatarina Makarova while Jo-Wilfried Tsonga became the highest ranked men's singles player to exit the tournament.
The quarter final line-up has now been confirmed and the first four matches take place on Tuesday with Victoria Azarenka v Agnieszka Radwanska kicking things off on Rod Laver Arena before world number one Caroline Wozniacki faces last year's Australian Open champion Kim Clijsters in what promises to be the match of the tournament so far.
The afternoon will feature Roger Federer, who is many people's tip for the title, up against Juan Martin Del Potro. The Argentine won the US Open in 2009 so is no stranger to Grand Slam glory and he will push the world number three harder than anyone has so far in Melbourne.
That match could go the full distance and the fans on Rod Laver may not have long to wait between Federer v Del Potro finishing and Nadal v Berdych starting, at 7.30pm. Nadal has been solid, if unspectacular, in Melbourne this year and the world number two could be vulnerable against the big Czech, who will be hoping to reach his second career Grand Slam final.
