Djokovic and Federer headline an interesting day 6 as both players are looking to secure a quarterfinal spot

Novak will be looking to continue his spectacular run of dominance at the Australian Open which saw him dispatch Nishioka in straight sets in the previous round. His opponent will be Schwartzman from Argentina, a player who doesn't play his best tennis on the hard courts but isn't a slouch neither. He is a fighter similar to the likes of Ferrer which can be troublesome for some players.
Joining Djokovic on the courts will be Roger Federer. The world number two had to go the full distance in order to prevail against an inspired Millman. Now he will face Fucsovics who had a great run in the tournament so far. So far he defeated Shapovalov in the 1st round as well as Italian teenage sensation Janik Sinner. He will certainly be a tough opponent for Roger whose fitness will be in question after an exhausting match.
On the courts as well will be Milos Raonic. The Canadian is enjoying a great run at this year's Australian Open which saw him defeat Tsitsipas in straight sets in the previous round. The Canadian has been enjoying particular success with his serving which is an integral part of his game. If he repeats the level of play he had against the Greek, he will certainly be the favourite to defeat a rejuvenated Cilic. The Croatian has been playing his best tennis in a long time as he defeated Bautista-Agut in the previous round.
The last match played will be between Sandgren and Fognini. The American is repeating his successful run he had a few years back where he reached the quarterfinal. His level of tennis has been pretty good as he loves playing in Australia. His opponent will be Fognini who had an easy-going against Pella. The Italian has been pretty impressive this year showcasing both excellent play and mental fortitude. He will need both if he wants to overcome the American.
