Novak Djokovic commended Taylor Fritz's serve after their quarterfinal match on Tuesday at the 2024 Australian Open.

The World No.1 is aiming for his 11th Australian Open title. He is also on the verge of breaking Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, with whom he is currently tied.

The three hour and 45 minute long encounter between Djokovic and Fritz ended with the Serb winning 7-6 (3), 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.

While speaking to the press after the match, Djokovic claimed that Fritz had one of the best serves in the world.

“It was really difficult to find the right timing, it was really hot while the sun was still out. We all know Taylor has got one of the best serves in the world. I knew the kind of a threat he poses when he serves on such a high quality," he said.

The duo have now faced off 9 times on the ATP Tour, and the 36-year-old has won every single time. The latest win over Fritz also means that Novak Djokovic has equalled Monica Seles' winning streak of 33 matches at the Australian Open.
