In the 3^rd set, Novak broke Adrian’s serve only once, but that was enough to win it 6-3 games for 37 minutes and close the match in straight sets.

That was the Serbian easiest victory in the Australian Open since the beginning of the tournament, as in his opening 2 matches, he even lost 1 set in each.

Djokovic will face either Fritz or Tsitsipas in the Australian Open quarterfinals.

3 – Novak Djokovic is the first player to concede three games or fewer in a win over an ATP top 20 opponent at a Grand Slam since Djokovic himself conceded three to Marin Cilic – US Open SF 2015. Breeze.#AusOpen | @AustralianOpen @DjokerNole @atptour pic.twitter.com/JUj28Q3vCg
