Daily Mail  

Day eight of the Australian Open saw the action continue behind closed doors in Melbourne and there were plenty of talking points. Jessica Pegula caused an upset by knocking out the No 5 seed Elina Svitolina, the saga of Novak Djokovic's injury rumbled on and there were hints the lockdown may be lifted. HEIR TO SPORTING DYNASTY CAUSES BIG UPSET An American who had never beaten a top 10 player or been beyond the third round of any grand slam event, caused the shock of the day when she put out No 5 seed Elina Svitolina on Rod Laver Arena. Jessica is the daughter of Buffalo Bills owners Kim and Terry Pegula, who have a wealth estimated by Forbes at £3.7billion MOURATOGLOU CASTS DOUBT ON DJOKOVIC INJURY The coach to Serena Williams and Stefanos Tsitsipas, Patrick Mouratoglou, was at pains to clarify his Sunday comments around supposed injuries to Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. The saga of how bad Novak Djokovic's stomach injury is has been a theme of the tournament 'I think that Novak, when this happened felt like it was worse than it probably happened to be.'
