Tsitsipas through in comeback win
Well, what a well-fought battle that was. Stefanos Tsitsipas has booked his spot in the next round of the Australian Open after coming back from being one set down to Jordan Thompson.
The Greek player won 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-2, 7–6 (7-4)
Novak Djokovic 6-3, 4-6, 4-4 Alexei Popyrin* (*denotes next server)
After his four-hour opener at the Australian Open, Djokovic would have been hoping this match was wrapped up much quicker but I have a sense it could go all the way.
Djokovic is 15-0 up but he then makes another error for Popyrin to level. Oh well that is beautiful from Djokovic, a light drop shot to outfox his opponent.
An unreturnable serve give Djokovic the chance to hold and he does.
Tsitsipas and Thompson have been locked in a deuce battle for the longest time, it’s currently 6-5 to Thompson in the fourth set.

The crowd is alive for any good move Popyrin makes at the moment. Some aces along the way are helping his cause, he is 40-0 up now.
Djokovic isn’t going to die wondering though, he lands a great shot to open the door in this game. Popyrin manages to hold though.

The Australian makes an unforced error and Djokovic makes a great shot for the chance of holding and he takes it.
Popyrin is okay to continue! I’ll have a Tstisipas update with you as soon as his latest set is over.
Popyrin has requested to see the medic and the team are out on court checking his calf muscle. Let’s hope he can continue.

Djokovic’s coaching box also don’t look too impressed with how the match is playing out at the moment, a lot of whispering going on.
An ace starts Djokovic’s service game. A great return from Popyrin gets him on the board. An overhit forehand gives Djokovic 30-15 and he eventually holds.
There had been talk about Djokovic potentially having a cold and I wouldn’t be surprised, he looks a bit lethargic out there.

The question is now, can Popyrin back up the set win? At the moment he is, leading 30-15 in the first game of the third set.
Djokovic is looking frustrated so if Popyrin can land a few more punches he could get a foothold. The Serb levels at 30-30 but Popyrin replies with an ace and then Djokovic sends it out.

Players don’t get many opportunities to really hand it to Djokovic and that would have been the perfect time to land a blow in this match but Popyrin let it slide by. Can he land the blow now?
It’s 15-15 and Popyrin apologises as his shot hits the net and bounces over. Djokovic hits the net and Popyrin has set point. Djokovic defends the first of two set points but he can’t defend the second!

He holds with a good game for the defending champion.

Popyrin definitely has the home crowd on his side now, an ace renders a huge cheer. A volley winner omits the same reaction, the atmosphere electric in the Rod Laver.

Is Djokovic getting a little shaken here? He was shouting to his coaching box in the break and Popyrin has won the first points of this game.
