Djokovic was hampered by a hamstring problem that threatens his quest for a 10th Australian Open crown and 22nd Grand Slam
A creaking Novak Djokovic, hampered by a hamstring problem that threatens his quest for a 10th Australian Open crown and 22nd Grand Slam, soldiered on into round four on Saturday after a scintillating 7-6 6-3 6-4 victory over Grigor Dimitrov.
Dimitrov’s late surge as he searched in vain for only a second win over Djokovic in their 11th meeting will have left the Serbian wondering how much longer his injured hamstring will hold up as he prepares to take on 23-year-old Alex de Minaur. “To see a packed Rod Laver Arena was pretty special, you know, all having my back,” the 22nd seed said. “It’s one of those moments where you’ve just got to pinch yourself and stay in the moment.”Czech fans at Melbourne Park savoured double delight as 17-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova burst into the spotlight by joining former world number one Karolina Pliskova in the fourth round, while fifth seed Aryna Sabalenka continued her progress.
“I need to be a little bit boring on court. I mean it’s still about a lot of positive emotions for me, but I’m trying to stay away from negative and just fight for every point.”
