Novak Djokovic's next match: Opponent, venue, live streaming, TV channel and schedule | Australian Open 2023, Round 3
Novak Djokovic will take on Grigor Dimitrov in the third round of the 2023 Australian Open on Saturday, January 21.
Djokovic has regained his top form in the last few months and seems to be a man on a mission. He has won 25 out of his last 27 matches, since claiming the Wimbledon title in June.
The Serb entered Australia on the back of a runner-up finish at the Paris Masters and a title-winning run at the ATP Finals in Turin. He continued his purple patch by capturing the Adelaide International 1, outclassing Sebastian Korda in the final. Djokovic defeated the American in an enthralling three-set tie 6-7(8), 7-6(3), 6-4.
The former World No. 1 has stayed on the ascendance at the Australian Open, with back-to-back victories in the first two rounds. He eased past Roberto Carballes Baena in the first round and then chalked up a hard fought win over Enzo Couacaud in the second. He defeated the French qualifier in four sets 6-1, 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-0.

Who is Djokovic playing against ?
Djokovic will square off against Grigor Dimitrov in the third round of the Australian Open on Saturday.
Dimitrov has been in hot and cold form over the last few months and entered Australia on the back of a semi-final run at the Vienna Open and a second-round loss at the Paris Masters. He represented his country at the 2023 United Cup, but the Bulgarians couldn't get past Greece in the round robin matches. He put up a decent performance against Tsitsipas, but couldn't outlast him in a three-set tie.
The former World No. 3 has looked in good touch at the 2023 Australian Open, securing competent wins over Aslan Karatsev and Laslo Djere in the first two rounds. He strolled past the Serb Djere in 1 hour and 34 minutes 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 in the second round. The 27th seed is yet to drop a set in Melbourne.
