MELBOURNE – Lorenzo Musetti vowed on Jan 26 to push Novak Djokovic “to his maximum” after setting up an Australian Open quarter-final against the 24-time Major champion.

The Italian fifth seed powered past ninth-seeded American Taylor Fritz 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 and meets a player he has faced 10 times before – and only beaten once, back in 2023.
