The 3rd round victory gave the World No.1 his 600th hard court victory. A monumental milestone as Djokovic becomes the second player to have more than 600 victories on the hardcourt with the other one being Roger Federer. Federer leads the tally with 775 wins. Djokovic is now third in the list of most wins on a single surface. As mentioned above Federer leads with 775 followed by Guillermo Vilas who has 670 wins on clay.
Another milestone that Djokovic reached is 150 victories in the hardcourt Grand Slam tournaments. The Australian Open and the US Open are the hardcourt Grand Slam tournament and so Djokovic has won 75 matches in each of them. His tally of 150 is second only to Federer who is quite a bit ahead at 192.

Djokovic will next play 20th seed, Pablo Carreño Busta in the 4th round. Like with most players on tour, Djokovic enjoys a one-sided head to head with the Spaniard. He leads 3-0 with their last meeting happening in the 2019 Western & Southern Open. Pablo has taken just one set against the Serbian in the three matches they have played against each other.
