World No. 4 Novak Djokovic became the first player to win 400 Grand Slam matches as the 38-year-old dispatched Dutchman Botic van de Zandschulp 6-3, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) to storm into the Round of 16.

"I'm still trying to give these young guys a push for their money. I'm still around. I'm hanging in there. Alcaraz and Sinner are the two best players in the world. They're playing on a different level from all of us right now. But when you enter the court and the ball rolls, you always have a chance, particularly here, on the court that has given me the most in my career," said the 24-time Grand Slam champion.
