On Rod Laver Arena, in the first match of the evening session, starting at 10:00, an exciting match will be held at first sight among the young and very talented South Korean Hyeon Chung, 58th ATP, winner of the first edition of NextGen Finals tournament last November, and Serbian Novak Djokovic, currently the 14th ATP, has just returned to the circuit after a half-year break caused by a right elbow injury. Sarbu seems to have returned in a good form in this tournament, winning clearly the matches in the previous rounds, 3-0 with Donald Young and Albert Ramos-Vinolas, and against Gael Monfils returned from 0-1 to sets and he was 3-1, but he did not have big problems. On the other side of the net, Hyeon Chung is in an important form increase, with a substantial increase in the rankings. In the previous tour of the tour, he managed a very solid match against the German of the same generation with him, Alexander Zverev, winning 3-2 to sets, 6-0 in the decisive. However, in this game Novak Djokovic starts up as a big favorite with a superior net experience and will try to do that, just as he did last year in the Antipozi tournament, when Nole made himself extremely clear with a 3- 0 to sets.
