Novak Djokovic's second round victory over Italian qualifier Francesco Maestrelli (ATP 141) was one without much history, but it brings the 38-year-old Serb very close to another historic mark. With a win against Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp (ATP 75) in the 3rd round on Saturday, he could become the first player - man or woman - in history to win 400 Grand Slam tournaments. For comparison: Roger Federer retired having won 369 matches at majors. At the Australian Open, Djokovic is one behind Federer with 101 wins. Still.
