Australian Open, Novak Djokovic finds himself: Tsitsipas also does well

Here comes the real Novak Djokovic again: the world number one tennis player and Australian Open title holder è qualified for the round of 16 thanks to a three-set victory over Argentina's Etcheverry. After suffering through the first two rounds, the Serbian tennis player celebrated his 100th career match in Melbourne by convincingly overcoming the No. 32 in the ATP rankings.

Nole, decidedly refreshed at the end of the match, è imposed himself with the partials of 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 in two hours and 31 minutes of play, dropping only in the third partial, then won at the tie-break. 

Djokovic reached the round of 16 at the Australian Slam for the 16th time in his career. Good victory also for Stefanos Tsitsipas against Frenchman Van Assche: the Greek è won in three sets 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 and will now face the U.S. Taylor Fritz in the round of 16.

Eliminated instead was a top name: Ben Shelton had to bow out in the fifth set after a marathon match against Frenchman Mannarino that lasted nearly 5 hours. The young U.S. player è was subdued by the more experienced transalpine tennis player, 14 years his senior, who è prevailed with the scores of 7-6, 1-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4.
