Novak Djokovic went through four sets in three hours to defeat home Jacob Fearnley 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 7-5. Despite a wild-card entry who was still playing college tennis at Texas Christian University recently, Fearnley made the 24-time Grand Slam “work” to secure Thursday's victory.

"He served very well. It was very difficult to break his serve. He made me work, definitely," Djokovic said. "Sometimes you have rough days where maybe you are not feeling your best. And of course it also depends on the opponent across the net. He made me earn this victory."

Djokovic will play Alexei Popyrin in the third round.
