The third round of the Australian Open is here, and those in action on its first day include Aryna Sabalenka, Janik Sinner and Coco Gauff, while a thus far out-of-sorts Novak Djokovic will face his toughest test yet.

15:30 CET - In the final match of the day, Storm Hunter (29) lost on home turf to Barbora Krejcikova (28), going down 4-6, 7-5, 6-3

13:45 CET - World number five Andrey Rublev (26) has beaten Sebastian Korda (23) 6-2, 7-6, 6-4 to move into the next round, where he will face home hero Alex De Minaur (24).

Speaking of Russians, world number 170 Maria Timofeeva (20) has claimed a shock 7-6, 6-3 victory over 10th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia (27) to become the lowest-ranked player to reach the Australian Open fourth round since 2017. 

13:09 CET - Next up for Djokovic will be fellow veteran Adrian Mannarino (35), who has continued his incredible year-long late-career resurgence with a 7-6, 1-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-4 win over highly-rated American Ben Shelton (21).

Mannarino has now won the last 11 five-set matches that he's played in. 

12:11 CET - Novak Djokovic (36) is through thanks to a comfortable win over Tomas Martin Etcheverry (24). He struggled in his first matches in Melbourne, but looked back to his best today.

10:32 CET - After two poor performances by his standards in the first two rounds, Novak Djokovic (36) is currently looking much better against Tomas Martin Etcheverry (24), leading by a set and break.
