Day 6 at the Australian Open featured a few near misses in terms of big-time upsets, but one did manage to come to fruition as a young American woman is making quite an impression Down Under.

Unseeded Madison Keys eliminated a two-time Wimbledon champion in No. 4 seed Petra Kvitova, which undoubtedly opens up the women's draw in a major way.
