MELBOURNE: Novak Djokovic’s Australian Open campaign may have got off to a slow start, but the 10-time champion’s play has picked up pace in his last couple of outings. Against Adrian Mannarino on a wet, windy Sunday at Melbourne Park, he attacked the ball like a hungry schoolboy on a gastronomical excursion, lining up a double bagel before finishing the 4th-round match for the loss of three games.
The 36-year-old ousted the left-handed Frenchman, one year his junior and seeded 20, whose legs appeared to have run out of miles, having played three successive five-setters.
