No 1 seed wins 7-6 (1), 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-2 despite injury‘This is definitely one of the most special wins in my life’Novak Djokovic’s
Australian Open is in doubt after an unprecedented night in Melbourne as he survived an injury scare to reach the fourth round with a 7-6 (1), 6-4, 3-6, 4-6, 6-2 win over Taylor Fritz, a match played half in front of an unruly crowd and half in silence after fans were ejected from the stadium mid-match before lockdown at midnight.
“This is definitely one of the most special wins in my life,” Djokovic said. “It doesn’t matter what round it is and against who it is, under these kinds of circumstances, to pull this through is definitely something I will remember forever.”
