The world No.68 broke new ground at Melbourne Park this week, making the third round of a grand slam for the first time in his career.

Bye for now Thanks so much for joining us for another marathon day at the Australian Open.
Aleks Vukic went so close to scoring a place in the fourth round before falling to Jack Draper while Novak Djokovic and fellow Serbian Olga Danilovic booked their places in the fourth rounds with wins on Rod Laver Arena.
We will be back later in morning with our day seven live blog, please join us then.
Bye for now.
