The Serbian, who was thrown out of Australia for not being vaccinated against COVID-19, was made to roil hard before getting past South Korean Kwon Soon-woo in the first round. Against Kokkinakis, Djokovic had it easy.
On the other hand, Van Rijthoven road this far hasn’t been a bed of roses. The Dutchman was made to toil hard against Federico Delbonis of Argentina in the opening round before he upset higher-ranked Reilly Opelka in the next.
In the third round, Van Rijthoven had it easy against Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia to set up a date with top-seeded Serbian. The 25-year-old is playing his first main draw in a Grand Slam after failing to qualify for the Australian Open and French Open and he has already impressed everyone.
