Novak Djokovic was seen blowing a kiss to Andy Murray as the tennis icon powered his way into the third round of the Australian Open on Wednesday morning.
The Serb is aiming to win a record 25th Grand Slam title Down Under this winter, a total that would move him ahead of Margaret Court in the history books.
Djokovic was tested at times on Tuesday, with the 37-year-old forced to show the resilience that has made him a legend of the sport.
But he was still able to advance, with the former world No 1 winning 6-1, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2 to book his place in the third round.

Djokovic will need to perform better than this if he's to go all the way, especially given how Carlos Alcaraz and remain favourites.
Yet he's still one of the best players in the world and only a fool would write him off.
Djokovic was asked about playing in his 430th Grand Slam match after beating Faria, with the 24-time major winner moving clear of Roger Federer.
He responded by saying: “Grand Slams, of course, they are the pillars of our sport.
