Roberto Bautista continues with his full victory in 2020. Eight in his eight games so far this year. The Spanish tennis player got rid of the young American Michael Mmoh, invited to the tournament, 5-7, 6-2, 6-4 and 6-1, in a duel "in the face of a dog, very ugly to see and play."

"It was very windy, all we could do is fight and try to put the ball inside because tennis could be done justito," said the Spaniard, who will face Croatian Marin Cilic in the next round.

"Now I have to think about the next round, which is going to be very difficult and keep up with the positive of today, which is to have left the first track with the conditions that were with an equal set," added Bautista, who reached the quarterfinals in the previous edition. Finally, the Spaniard recalled that he already faced in the previous Australian Open to the Croatian in the round of 16, which he could win in three sleeves.

Djokovic and Federer, overwhelming

Novak Djokovic , current champion, forgot the troubles of his premiere against the German Jan-Lennard Struff, before which he gave a set, and solved his second game with much authority against the Japanese Tatsuma Ito by 6-1, 6-4, 6 -two.

The Belgrade signed a high quality match and showed an almost unknown face of 'gunman' to achieve 16 direct serves. His rival only snatched six points from the rest and did not oppose much resistance, except in the second set, to clear Djokovic for a third round where he will run into another Japanese, Yoshihito Nishioka.

The Swiss Roger Federer , third seeded, also had a second placid match at Melbourne Park, which only took an hour and a half to get rid of the Serbian Filip Krajinovic in three sets by 6-1, 6-4, 6-1. The Basel, who will now cross with the Australian John Millman, went to 42 winners, 14 with his 'drive', and his only must in the game was the 'break' embedded in the second set and that allowed his rival match.
