Third seed Stefanos Tsitsipas continued his strong start to the Australian Open with a straight-set win over Tallon Griekspoor to reach the fourth round.
The Greek, the highest seed left in the men’s draw, beat the 63rd-ranked Dutchman 6-2 7-6 (7-5) 6-3.
Tsitsipas has yet to drop a set in Melbourne as he bids for his first Grand Slam title.
He will face Jannik Sinner next after the Italian fought back from two sets down to beat Marton Fucsovics.
Sinner, seeded 15th, came through 4-6 4-6 6-1 6-2 6-0 against Hungary’s Fucsovics.
It is the first time in his career that he has come back from two sets down to win at a Grand Slam.
Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz reached the fourth round in Melbourne for the first time with a hard-fought 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 1-6 4-6 6-3 victory over Denis Shapovalov of Canada.
Sixth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Francisco Cerundolo 6-1 3-6 6-1 6-4 to set up a meeting with rising Czech star Jiri Lehecka, who beat Britain’s Cameron Norrie.
After his win, Auger-Aliassime addressed a ‘Netflix curse’, which is supposedly causing players who featured in the recently released series Break Point to bow out of the Australian Open early.
Casper Ruud, Ons Jabeur and Matteo Berrettini are all out, while Nick Kyrgios, Paula Badosa and Ajla Tomljanovic had to withdraw before the tournament began.
“I thought it was funny,” Auger-Aliassime said.
“I don’t know. I don’t think it’s connected. Maybe the players that lost, maybe they do feel like it’s connected somehow. I don’t think they do.”
