Top seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams had to work hard, but both advanced to the fourth round in Day 6 action. Djokovic's matchup was extended to a tiebreaker in the first set against Fernando Verdasco, but he ultimately took command to win 7-6 (10-8), 6-3, 6-4.

He still hasn't dropped a set at this year's tournament.

Djokovic will now face Gilles Muller, who upset No. 19 John Isner in the third round. Djokovic is already thinking about his next opponent, per this quote captured by tennis journalist Carole Bouchard:



Ben Rothenberg of The New York Times gives us a glimpse at the men's round of 16.



On the women's side, Williams dropped the first set to No. 26 Elina Svitolina before cruising in the second and third and prevailing 4-6, 6-2, 6-0.



Williams committed 14 unforced errors in the first set but minimized the mishaps to close out Svitolina the rest of the way. Williams will now face No. 24 Garbine Muguruza in the fourth round. Rothenberg has a look at the women's round-of-16 bracket.



While no player should look past their next opponent, it might be hard for Williams not to think about her potential quarterfinal foe.



Unseeded Victoria Azarenka lurks and would presumably be Williams' opponent if both advance. Azarenka has a stiff test with No. 11 Dominika Cibulkova. If things fall into place correctly, it could be an explosive quarterfinal match.
