Australian Open: Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic into fourth round

Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic both reached round four of the Australian Open with straight-set wins - although the Serb suffered an injury scare.

Switzerland's five-time champion Federer beat Richard Gasquet 6-2 7-5 6-4 to progress to the last 16.

Six-time winner Djokovic had treatment on his lower back and leg but saw off Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-2 6-3 6-3.

"It's nothing major to be concerned about. It's things that surface every day. I guess it's normal," he said.

Djokovic, 30, is playing in his first event since Wimbledon last year after a six-month lay-off with an elbow injury.
