Novak Djokovic manages to take down Andreas Seppi after the Italian put up a fierce battle in the Australian Open 3rd round. Eventually it was Nole to prevail 6-1, 7-5, 7-6(6). An important moment was when Seppi managed to recover a 2-4 deficit in the 3rd set breaker to have 2 set points (6-4). At that point it was time for the Serbinator to win 4 consecutive points and wrap up the match after 2 hours and 21 minutes.
Vintage Djokovic. 4-6 down in third set tie-break. Wins it 8-6. Warrior. Through. Gilles Simon next. @bbctennis

Djokovic on his superb winning streak against Italian players: “I play mind games with them because I can speak Italian!” (laughs) #AusOpen

Kyrgios sad that he lost, feels he let ppl down. Told by a journalist that everybody loses, he responds: “Djokovic doesnt lose”

Djokovic. I had a good start, then he fought
Nole commented “I started the match very well. I had great intensity and I felt I played some very solid tennis for the first 30 or 40 minutes. Then he stepped up and started serving very well.”
Novak #Djokovic is very happy to move through to the 4th round of the #AusOpen https://t.co/2tLSCeSeRZ
