Novak Djokovic Advances at Australian Open

Novak Djokovic advanced to the third round of the Australian Open while making history as he played his 430th match at a Grand Slam, surpassing Roger Federer for the most in the Open Era. Djokovic, who is vying for an 11th Australian Open title and a historic 25th Grand Slam crown, defeated Portuguese qualifier Jaime Faria in four sets. Meanwhile, last year's women's finalist, Zheng Qinwen, suffered a surprising early exit after losing to Laura Siegemund. Other notable winners included defending champion Aryna Sabalenka, rising star Coco Gauff, and Carlos Alcaraz, who dominated his opponent with a swift victory. Djokovic is set to face 26th seed Tomas Machac next, while Alcaraz continues to impress as he aims for a deeper run in the tournament. The tournament has seen unexpected results, with several seeded players, including Casper Ruud, eliminated early on.
