MELBOURNE, Jan 19 — Novak Djokovic continues his “dream” return to the Australian Open on Thursday with great rival and defending champion Rafael Nadal now removed from his path to a 10th Melbourne Park title.

The 35-year-old Djokovic, who missed last year’s Grand Slam because of his stance on Covid vaccines, received a rousing reception on Tuesday. Following Djokovic on to centre court to bring the curtain down on day four will be Tunisia’s women’s world number two Ons Jabeur against Marketa Vondrousova. “I’ve played him a while ago in Davis Cup. Yeah, he definitely handed it to me that day, but I’m ready now,” said Kokkinakis of the prospect of facing the Briton.
