Djokovic's record-breaking 10 Australian Open titles has helped him reach 99 match wins on the hard courts of Melbourne while he may need two or three more appearances at the US Open, where he's reigned on four occasions, to reach three figures as he currently stands on 90.

The match began with Alex de Minaur claiming the first set by 6-1. However, Novak Djokovic bounced back and won the next two sets with 6-4 each. The game became more dramatic when Alex took the lead 4-2 in the fourth set.
