Novak Djokovic reaches the 3rd round at the Australian Open without being challenged and is on the verge of two more milestones. These are the facts of the fifth day of the tournament.
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.
