Local hope Alex de Minaur faces the daunting task of playing nine-time champion Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open fourth round, after both booked their berths in the last 16 with straight-sets wins.
In front of a partisan crowd on Rod Laver Arena, de Minaur advanced to the second week of the season-opening major via a 7-6 (7/0), 6-2, 6-1 win over unseeded Frenchman Benjamin Bonzi in two hours and eight minutes on Saturday afternoon.
