Novak Djokovic Advances to Australian Open Fourth Round After Straight-Set Victory

Djokovic overcomes physical struggles and a vocal heckler to defeat Tomáš Macháč 6-1, 6-4, 6-4 in Melbourne.

Novak Djokovic secured a straight-set win against 26th-seed Tomáš Macháč, marking his most dominant performance in the tournament so far.
The 10-time Australian Open champion briefly struggled with breathing issues and sought medical attention during the match but recovered to finish strongly.
Djokovic engaged with a heckler during and after the match, responding humorously in his on-court interview by saying, 'Sorry, mate, I have a wife. We can have a drink, though.'
The Serbian player praised fellow competitor Danielle Collins for her fiery response to crowd behavior earlier in the tournament, calling himself a 'big fan' of her actions.
Djokovic will face 24th-seed Jiri Lehecka in the fourth round, with a potential quarterfinal clash against No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz looming.
