Novak Djokovic tennis season

ADELAIDE - Serbia's top-ranked tennis player Novak Djokovic defeated Frenchman Quentin Halys 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-5) at the Adelaide ATP tournament on Thursday to reach the quarter-finals.

The Serbian will play Canadian Denis Shapovalov in a bid to reach the semi-finals.

British tennis player defeated Denis Shapovalov in the second round match in three sets with the result 6:1, 3:6, 6:2. Marie will play against Djokovic for the 37th time, and currently the Serbian tennis player is leading 25:11 in head to head meetings.

Serbia's state prosecutors on Wednesday rejected suggestions that Novak Djokovic used a fake positive test for COVID-19 to try to enter Australia and compete in the Australian Open.

Australia had cancelled his visa after the State and tennis officials had granted Djokovic a medical exemption to Australia’s strict COVID-19 vaccination policy

ATP explained that the reason for that lies in the fact that the first Grand Slam of the season last year was played later and that it ended on that date.
Therefore, this year's points will be calculated on February 21, 2022.

He will meet either Novak Djokovic or Denis Shapovalov

Sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas has advanced to the third round of the Australian Open after his German opponent Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew due to injury, organizers said on Wednesday.
ATP Finals champion Tsitsipas, 21, will meet either Canadian 32nd seed Milos Raonic or Cristian Garin of Chile in the third round, having never faced either opponent before.

World No 1 will play against Roberto Bautista-Agut, who had beaten Guido Pella in four sets.
Serb had played a great match against the Belgian, who appeared to get lost on the court in the second and third set.
Novak performed best on this year's tournament, so the issue of winner has never brought into question.

Stefanos Tsitsipas is through to the third round and closer to a potential meeting with defending champion Roger Federer at Melbourne Park.

The Greek 20-year-old beat Viktor Troicki 6-3, 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 but wasted a lot of break-point opportunities as the Serbian player saved 15 of 19 chances created by Tsitsipas.
