Frenchman Gaël Monfils qualified for the round of 16 of the Australian Open on Friday where he will face a Serb, but it will be Miomir Kecmanovic who benefited from Novak Djokovic's expulsion from the country to pass three rounds.

The Frenchman, 20th in the world, who qualified without losing a single set in three games, easily overcame Cristian Garin (19th), dominated 7-6 (7/4), 6-1, 6-3.

The Chilean also paid the price for the return to great shape of the Parisian in Melbourne, he who had left the tournament in tears last year, after the impotence displayed in the 1st round.

At 35, he has reached this stage of a Major for the 20th time in his career, the first since the Australian Open 2020.
