Seeded 2nd at the 2020 Australian Open, Djokovic can become the first-ever men to win 8 Australian Open titles. The Serbian is also undefeated in the new decade and currently holds a 7-0 streak in his favour, which includes the win over Rafael Nadal at the ATP Cup earlier this month. Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff gave Djokovic a tough fight – and also won a set off the champion’s serve – but the 16-time Grand Slam champion eventually progressed with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, 2-6, 1-6 victory. Ito, on the other, beat Gunneswaran 6-4, 6-2, 7-5 to advance. The Japanese has, however, never progressed to the 3rd round in Australia and it will be a major upset if he manages to.
