Novak Djokovic grimaces in pain during his win on Friday - now he is battling to be fit to face Milos Raonic on Sunday night AFP/Brandon MALONEMELBOURNE: Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka face their toughest tests so far when the Australian Open enters the last 16 stage on Sunday , while Novak Djokovic faces a battle to recover from a potentially tournament-ending injury.
"I'm very proud," Djokovic said after the match, which was halted midway through to eject fans ahead of a state-wide, five-day coronavirus lockdown. The Pole dropped just three games in a 69-minute drubbing of Halep in the last 16 in the French Open and the two now meet at the same stage in Melbourne to open the night session on Rod Laver Arena.
