Novak Djokovic admitted that he is relieved to feel his performance level rising at the Australian Open after he played his best match of the tournament so far, outclassing Tomás Martín Etcheverry 6-3, 6-3, 7-6 (2) to reach the fourth round at Melbourne Park.
“It was a great match,” said Djokovic. “I think the best performance I had during this tournament. Obviously I’m pleased with the way I played the entire match, particularly the first two sets. He stepped it up, he raised his level of tennis probably one or two levels in the third set. We went toe-to-toe in the tiebreak, I guess I just found the right shots and closed in straights.”
