Australian Open 2020: The major happenings on Day 3

The Australian Open 2020 continued to gather pace and we had another superb day of action on Day 3 of the event at Melbourne Park. The men's and singles second round matches were played on Wednesday. Teenager Coco Gauff set up a third round meeting with Naomi Osaka. Novak Djokovic progressed as well. Here are the major happenings.

Djokovic
Djokovic eases into third round

Defending champion Djokovic eased into the third round after making short work of Japanese wildcard Tatsuma Ito. The 32-year-old Serb is chasing a 17th Grand Slam and eighth Australian Open title. He won the tie 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in one hour and 35 minutes. He will be up against Japan's Yoshihito Nishioka next. The latter overcame Britain's Dan Evans 6-4, 6-3, 6-4.

Men's singles
Tsitsipas to meet Raonic next, Cilic prevails in a thriller

Meanwhile, men's sixth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas moved into the last 32 after opponent Philipp Kohlschreiber withdrew injured. Organizers claimed the 36-year-old German had a muscle strain. Tsitsipas, 21, will face Canadian Milos Raonic in the third round. Raonic beat Christian Garin 6,3, 6-4, 6-2. Marin Cilic prevailed in a five-set thriller. He beat Benoit Paire 6-2, 6-7, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6.

Gauff, Osaka
Gauff sets up Osaka date in women's singles

Japanese third seed Osaka overcame Saisai Zheng 6-2, 6-4 before 15-year-old Gauff saw off Romania's Sorana Cirstea. Gauff was 3-0 down in the decider but fought back to win 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 in two hours and six minutes. "It's amazing," said Gauff. "Honestly, I didn't think I would get so much support in Australia. I was down 3-0 and you really made me believe."

Women's singles
Big guns Barty, Wozniacki and Kvitova through

Women's world number one Ashleigh Barty eased to a 6-1, 6-4 victory against Slovenia's Polona Hercog in just over an hour. The retiring Caroline Wozniaki sealed a 7-5, 7-5 win against Dayana Yastremska to progress. Last year's finalist, Petra Kvitova, progressed with a 7-5, 7-5 victory over Spain's Paula Badosa. Elena Rybakina overcame Greet Minnen 6-3, 6-4 in straight sets.

Other results
