Novak Djokovic destroys Alex de Minaur on Rod Laver to secure Quarter-Final spot at Australian Open

Many expected de Minaur to make this an interesting one considering everything that is happening to Djokovic but it was anything but that as the Serbian cruised 6-2 6-1 6-1.

Alex de Minaur produced a shocking effort to stun his native fans hoping for a show in the Rod Laver Arena losing to Djokovic rather quickly. The victory was never in doubt for the Serbian as he destroyed his opponent from the start. The longer the match went on the more apparent it became that de Minaur was no match for the Serbian.

An abundance of unforced errros, a lot of doubt, and not being sure what to do. Everything combined for de MInaur as Djokovic slowly but surely took apart his game. It was the best Djokovic played since the start of the Australian Open and that's a bad sign for all of his competitors. Djokovic had 26 winners compared to de Minaur's 9. The Australian also had 28 unforced errors and that was the match.
