Novak Djokovic's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel, and schedule | Australian Open 2024, R3

Novak Djokovic will continue his campaign at the Australian Open after a hard-fought four-set second-round win over Alexei Popyrin on Wednesday.

The World No. 1 was far from his best against Popyrin, who made it a tough outing for the defending champion under the Melbourne night sky. After taking the opening set 6-3, Popyrin broke the Serb decisively in the 10th game of the second to restore parity.

A long evening looked to be in store for Djokovic, as he found himself 40-0 down on Popyrin's serve, trailing 5-4. But the Serb, as he has done countless times during his illustrious career, saved all three break points and a fourth before winning the ensuing tiebreak.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion assumed control of proceedings in the fourth set, serving out victory to extend his near-perfect Australian Open second-round record to 16-1.

Djokovic has now won his last 30 matches at the tournament since a fourth-round loss to Hyeon Chung six years ago.
