MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Novak Djokovic added yet another record to his lengthy list, breaking a tie with Roger Federer for the most Grand Slam matches played in tennis history by reaching 430 on Wednesday at the Australian Open in what was a tougher-than-expected second-round victory.

Novak Djokovic has reached the third round of this year's Australian Open with his bid to become the first player to win 25 Grand Slam titles remaining on track

Djokovic was given a fright in the first round by American wildcard Nishesh Basavareddy, ranked 107, who also pushed him to four sets. The Serb said afterwards that the way he fought back was a good sign in his quest for an 11th Australian Open title and record 25th Grand Slam crown.
