Brief stories from the Australian Open on Saturday:

Roger Federer is adored around the globe - even when he's playing the home favourite.

Millman even had to shout down a heckler as he went within two points of shocking the six-time champion in the third round.Advertisement"There was a guy trying to heckle me, calling me a few things, and then I called him something back."Milos Raonic is renowned for one of the biggest serves in tennis and Stefanos Tsitsipas felt the full weight of it in his third round loss to the Canadian.

"I feel great with the conditions. I feel good. But they're changing so much because the weather is so inconsistent here," Thiem said. "Maybe this is one of the tournaments where we have to adapt the most. But court speed and balls are completely fine for me."
