Djokovic dominates Mannarino to reach Australian Open quarter-finals

Posted : 21 January 2024

Top seed Novak Djokovic continued his dominant run in the Australian Open, securing a spot in the quarter-finals with a resounding victory over French 20th seed Adrian Mannarino. Djokovic's relentless performance resulted in a 6-0, 6-0, 6-3 win, showcasing his pursuit of a record 25th Grand Slam title. The Serbian star is set to face 12th seed Taylor Fritz in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Italy's Jannik Sinner advanced to the last eight by defeating Karen Khachanov, setting up a potential clash with Djokovic in the semi-finals.

 

Djokovic expressed satisfaction with his performance, citing the first two sets as some of his best play in a while. Despite a brief interruption when Mannarino won a game in the third set, Djokovic's focus remained unbroken. An 11th title in Melbourne would propel Djokovic ahead of Margaret Court's all-time record of 24 Grand Slam wins.

 

Italy's Jannik Sinner continued to establish himself as a title contender, overcoming a challenging test against Russia's Karen Khachanov. Sinner, the fourth seed, showcased resilience by surviving nine break points and securing a 6-4, 7-5, 6-3 victory. Sinner is yet to drop a set in the tournament and is on a collision course with Djokovic in the semi-finals.

 

Djokovic's next opponent in the quarter-finals is Taylor Fritz, who reached his first Australian Open quarter-final by defeating last year's finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas. Fritz, aware of Djokovic's dominance in their previous encounters, expressed optimism about his performance. Meanwhile, Andrey Rublev battled cramps to secure a hard-fought victory over Alex de Minaur, setting up a clash with Sinner in the quarter-finals.
