MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Novak Djokovic on Monday defended the pride of Australia's old guard after defeating Russian meddler Daniel Medvedev 6-4, 6-7, 6-2, 6-3 to qualify for the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park.
After the departure of Greek Stefanos Titpas, after the departure of Roger Federer, there was another surprise at the Ruud Lever stadium where Medvedev, 22, crushed his Serbian opponent with a flood of powerful shots.
But Djokovic has finally managed to cross his most dangerous competitor so far.
The world number one will continue his quest to win the third consecutive Grand Slam title and seventh title at Melbourne Park when he meets the eighth-seeded Japanese, Nishikuri.
