Novak Djokovic won his third-round tie in the Australian Open to advance to the last 16.
While Andy Murray exited the tournament as he lost 1-6 7-6(7) 3-6 4-6 to Roberto Agut on Margaret Court Arena.
Djokovic struggled with more hamstring troubles as he beat Grigor Dimitrov 7-6 (9-7) 6-3 6-4.
He received a medical timeout after he edged the opening set.
The 35-year-old had received treatment on an existing hamstring injury in his last match. And was visibly in pain throughout the third set.
Djokovic next faces Australian 22nd seed Alex de Minaur who beat France’s Benjamin Bonzi in straight sets.
“It’s not good at all, to be honest,” Djokovic said when asked about his injury.
“I’ll take it day-to-day, it was better in the last match, the feeling, than tonight.
“That’s all I can say. It’s up to God and my physio to help me. Let’s take it day by day. I hope I’ll be able to recover.”

Andy Murray was back at the scene of his late-night heroics against Thanasi Kokkinakis.
He did his best to recover from the five-hour and 45-minute marathon. Although he came back from two sets down to claim victory at 4.05 am local time.
Coupled with a near five-hour first-round win over Matteo Berrettini, Murray had spent 10 hours and 34 minutes on court just making it through to the last 32.
To begin with, it appeared he would offer little resistance but he willed himself into the match and improbably took the second set before Spaniard Bautista Agut claimed a 6-1 6-7 (7-9) 6-3 6-4 victory after three hours and 29 minutes.
The results mean Novak Djokovic is the only major winner left in the draw that has seen a host of big names exit.
