Djokovic vs Popyrin preview
World number one Novak Djokovic got a huge scare on Sunday before eventually coming through the longest first-round Grand Slam match of his career. The Serbian, who is chasing a record-extending 11th men's title in Melbourne, needed four hours and one minute to beat the 18-year-old Dino Prizmic on Rod Laver Arena.
Having been handed a severe test against last year’s French Open boys' champion, Djokovic will now battle home favorite Alexei Popyrin. The 24-year-old Australian thundered 20 aces against Marc Polmans in his first-round win and certainly has the firepower to test the top seed.
One year ago the Aussie produced a huge shock in the second round as he beat then-world number nine Taylor Fritz in five sets and sounded confident of causing another upset when asked about facing Djokovic. “I have big weapons in my game that I believe can do some damage.”
Popyrin has played Djokovic once before but it was back in 2019 when he was just starting out on the tour and fell to a straight sets defeat. He will hope to put up more of a fight in front of his home supporters but it will be a tough ask as the 24-time Grand Slam champion last exited a Slam in the second round back in 2017 — though that was in Melbourne when he lost to Denis Istomin.
