The first upset of a top-four seed in the 2015 Australian Open happened on Friday, and the victim was No. 2 Roger Federer. Andreas Seppi took advantage of some uncharacteristic sloppiness from Federer to pull off the four-set victory, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-6 (7-5).

Federer had nine double faults in the match and a whopping 55 unforced errors. He talked about the loss in the post-match press conference.



Seppi was able to capitalize by breaking the future Hall of Famer on three of five opportunities. He advances to the fourth round where he will take on Nick Kyrgios. The latter beat Malek Jaziri in straight sets to advance.

While Seppi and Federer have had some tough matches in the past, this win was still very unexpected. ESPN Stats and Info puts it further into perspective.



While Federer experienced a major letdown, Rafael Nadal has seemingly shaken off some early-round issues and is now looking as dominant as many expected. On Friday, he beat Dudi Sela in straight sets, 6-1, 6-0, 7-5, to advance the fourth round.



Nadal will face his first seeded opponent of the tournament on Sunday when he takes on No. 10 Kevin Anderson. Anderson defeated No. 24 Richard Gasquet in a tough straight-sets win, 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (8-6).
