Apparently no live scores anywhere but Stuart Fraser is tweeting updates.

Aidan was a break down, but broke straight back and has just held to lead 4-3* in the 3rd set. He won the 2nd 7-5.

Tseng has broken and will serve for the match at *5-4

Aidan fought hard and saved two MPs but in the end it wasn't quite enough.

Tseng wins : 6-3 5-7 6-4

As a footnote, Korda ended up winning the event. His dad won the AO in 1998, out of interest are they the first father son to win a slam title at the same event?

A good question which I don't know the answer to with certainty. However https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grand_Slam_boys%27_singles_champions has a list of all the boys' champions. Lots of famous names, but very few which made me think of someone else with the same surname who could be related and a potential GS champion (Max Newcombe does not appear to be related to John). Apparently Sebastian's sister Jessica has also won the Australian Open (albeit in golf - http://www.itftennis.com/news/278736.aspx )

Hi DavidC - closest I can get are Ramanathan and Ramesh Krishnan who both won Wimbledon Juniors titles in their time, but best Dad Ramanathan did in a GS was a semi place in seniors.
