MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Six-time champion Novak Djokovic is through to the Australian Open's fourth round after a 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 win over Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
Djokovic took a medical timeout in the second set to have his back and legs massaged, but appeared to show little ill effects for the rest of the match.
He has beaten the Spaniard in all five career meetings, including in straight sets in the fourth round at the French Open last year.
He will play Hyeon Chung in the round of 16 following the South Korean's five-set upset win over fourth-seeded Alexander Zverev earlier Saturday.
