Command Analysis
Alex De Minaur defeated Yu Hsiou Hsu, Adrian Mannarino, and Benamin Bonzi to reach the fourth round of the Australian Open.

Novak Djokovic won the tournament in Adelaide just before the start of the Melbourne Major, but he got problems with hamstring and there were some concerns about that injury at the start of the Australian Open. Nevertheless, Djokovic confidently defeated all of his opponents on the way to the last 16. He ousted Roberto Carballes Baena, Enzo Couacaud, and Grigor Dimitrov.
