Đoković pod bolovima preko Dimitrova do osmine finala

Devetostruki osvajač gren slema u Australiji Novak Đoković (35) u 11. međusobnom okršaju deseti put je pobedio Bugarina Grigora Dimitrova, sada u trećoj rundi Australijan opena - 3:0 (7:6, 6:3, 6:4).

Bila je ovo Srbinova 24. pobeda u nizu na Australijan openu (od 2011. do 2014. je imao čak 25 pobeda u nizu u Melburnu) do koje je došao posle tri sata i šest minuta igre.

Više ga je od rivala mučila leva noga i povreda zadnje lože. Nekoliko puta fizioterapeut ga je masirao u medicinskim pauzama.

Novak se 15. put plasirao u osminu finala Australijan opena.

U osmini finala Ozi opena Novak će igrati protiv Australijanca Aleksa de Minaura.

Australijan open igra se za nagradni fond od 53,3 miliona dolara.

Novak Djokovic is the only Grand Slam champion remaining in the men’s draw

➡️ next he faces ????????Alex de Minaur.
