While Day 6 at the 2013 Australian Open saw some familiar faces break through into the fourth round, a handful of lesser-known talents emerged as contenders.

Roger Federer and Andy Murray proved to be the two biggest challengers to Novak Djokovic in the men's draw, while female stars Victoria Azarenka and Serena Williams each moved one step closer to a potential clash of the titans in the semifinal round next week. 

Overachievers Jeremy Chardy and Elena Vesnina both advanced to the fourth round on Day 6, giving them immense confidence and belief moving forward. 

With the third round of the year's first Grand Slam in the books, it's time to recap the latest happenings from Melbourne Park.
