We’ll be giving most of our attention to the Alexei Popyrin match against Ben Shelton on John Cain Arena. The two-time US Open semi-finalist, from Belarus, dispatched her former doubles partner Elise Mertens 6-2, 6-3 in an hour and 15 minutes. Shelton is serving the first serve of the match as I type. We’re working to restore it. The American has hit a high of 223 km/h with his fastest serve, and is averaging 204 km/h with his first serves. We’re sorry, this feature is currently unavailable. On Rod Laver, Novak Djokovic has broken Grigor Dimitrov early and is serving for a 2-0 lead in the opening set. Shelton hit 13-8 winners, and just 7-10 unforced errors in the first set. He found the net at deuce to give Shelton a second break-point chance, and the American took it, hitting a cross-court winner to move to a 4-2 lead. And as quick as that, the 24th seed holds serve and wraps up the opening set, 6-1. His serving has been strong, but he’s also used the drop shot and slice to good effect. All kudos to Ben Shelton, who wraps up the first set, 6-3.

Djokovic Pushes through Pain and Dimitrov - Tennis Now (Tennis Now)

It's no secret that Novak Djokovic is fighting against more than his opponents at this year's Australian Open.

Djokovic was given a hero’s welcome in the court he has made his personal proving ground since 2008 when he won his first of nine Australian Open titles. It may have heightened concern in his coaching box, but didn’t seem to fluster Djokovic, who was able to handle the pressure points brilliantly. Visibly hampered by the heavily taped hamstring, Djokovic pulled up gingerly on several points in the opening set out of caution.

A half-fit Djokovic can still be a handful for most players but the fourth seed looked a little more certain of his mobility in the third set and a double break to start helped him subdue the error-prone Dimitrov who failed to make a late comeback. A heavily-strapped but more aggressive Djokovic emerged from a medical timeout and built pressure with his relentless returns from the back, going up 4-2 as 27th seed Dimitrov hit the net to surrender his serve, and went on to wrap up the second set. MELBOURNE, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Novak Djokovic continued his charge towards a 10th Australian Open title with a superb 7-6(7) 6-3 6-4 victory over Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov to reach the fourth round on Saturday but fears about the durability of his injured left hamstring only grew.

Having beaten Dimitrov nine times in their previous 10 meetings probably helped.

He took another timeout after falling to the floor at the side of the court at the end of the first set but, despite continuing to limp and looking uncomfortable at times, clinched a 7-6 (7) 6-3 6-4 victory.

Novak Djokovic beat Grigor Dimitrov 7-6 (7), 6-3, 6-4 despite his hamstring injury and will now face the home favourite Alex de Minaur.

“He has improved a lot, has Lleyton [Hewitt] in his corner – that’s a great team.” “De Minaur is one of the quickest players on the tour, the quickest guy,” he said. How to turn a precarious contest into a regulation win, with one heavily taped leg buckling beneath him, as if it is just the normal thing to do? A minute or so before Djokovic was feeling grateful, he and Dimitrov played a 31-point rally until the latter overcooked a shot to give the Serb two match points. Loth to miss out, Dimitrov did the same, mimicking his close friend, who was about to beat him. He was still on Rod Laver Arena, having survived the pain of his troublesome hamstring and then thrived despite it to see off Grigor Dimitrov 7-6 (7), 6-3, 6-4.
