Djokovic Novak Martinez Pedro

From the first exchanges, Novak Djokovic imposed his tempo.

Precise and focused, the ten-time Australian Open champion never loosened his grip against Pedro Martinez, who was overwhelmed by the Serb's intensity and consistency (6-3, 6-2, 6-2).

The point that sums it all up: a winning jumping forehand at 176 km/h, delivered effortlessly, in front of the crowd.

100 Victories at the Australian Open

With this win, Novak Djokovic reaches an absolutely historic milestone: 100 singles victories at the Australian Open.

He becomes only the second player in the Open Era to cross this mythical barrier in Melbourne, after Roger Federer (102).

But where Djokovic goes even further is that he is the first player in history to achieve 100 victories in three different Grand Slam tournaments.

- Australian Open: 100–10

- Roland-Garros: 101–17

- Wimbledon: 102–13

- US Open: 95–15

Next Challenge: Maestrelli

In the second round, Djokovic will face Francesco Maestrelli, world No. 141, for a spot in the third round.

On paper, the imbalance is total. But in the Serb's mind, the goal is clear: to secure a 101st victory and further cement his legend.
