Well, here is a bit of meaningful pressure. At 0-30 Cilic gets a stroke of luck, the ball flicking off the net and down on Ruud’s side. Three break points. Ruud saves one point with an ace. Then a big second serve that Cilic sends long. That’s 30-40.

Ruud pumps his fist when he saves the third break point, and again when he serves solidly again to fashion an advantage. It goes back to deuce, Ruud then saves yet another break point, and edges through with an ace to seal the second set.

Ruud has reached three grand slam finals: the French Open twice (2022 and 2023) plus the US Open in 2022. His best result here in Melbourne is the fourth round in 2021.

Rybakina, the No 5 seed, rounds it off with a typically power-packed forehand cross-court. I didn’t see much of that but it looked like a mismatch based on the final game. Rybakina’s power is too much for most and she’s through to the last 16.

Her scheduled opponent, Australia’s Maddison Inglis, receives a bye into the last 16.

He’s adding a bit of Freddie Mercury showmanship now, which is a very worrying sign for Van de Zandschulp.

Then a big chance at 30-30 for the world No 75 to apply pressure but he’s maybe a bit tentative. Djokovic double faults with the set firmly in his sights … but then steadies the ship with a big serve out wide and clinches it.

Novak Djokovic made short work of his opponents in rounds one and two: Pedro Martínez and then Francesco Maestrelli were dismissed in straight sets, with identical scorelines: 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. The Serbian would certainly take the same today against the dangerous world No 75 Botic van de Zandschulp, who beat him at Indian Wells last year, and has taken out Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal in the past couple of seasons.

Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, is yet to drop a set herself, although she had to win a first-round tiebreak against Yuan Yue on Monday, eventually coming through 7-5, 6-3. Marie Bouzkova was safely dispatched in the second round on Thursday, 6-2, 6-3, and today the Polish second seed will need to raise her game against Anna Kalinskaya of Russia, seeded 31.
