World no.1 and the defending champion Novak Djokovic from Serbia meets 34th ranked Czech Radek Stepanek in the third round match on the Day-5 of the Australian Open at the Rod Laver Arena Friday morning.
Djokovic first met the Czech at Zagreb in 2006 and has since played eight matches against Stepanek, losing only once in the quarters of Rotterdam in 2006. They last met at Wimbledon 2012 in the third round, when Djokovic having lost the first set 4-6, won over the Czech 6-2 6-2 6-2.
Stepanek has been thereabouts for a decade, but has never been past the third round at the Australian Open. It seems difficult to see him going past the irrepressible Djokovic this year too.
The match is scheduled at 03:00 GMT Friday 18, January at Rod Laver Arena.
