Good morning and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Australian Open men's singles fourth round match between Novak Djokovic and Milos Raonic. The big question ahead of this one - how fit is Djokovic? He suffered an abdominal injury midway through his match against Taylor Fritz and struggled to get over the finish line. There had been some chat that Djokovic might not even play this match, so will Raonic take advantage of the world number one being below par?

DJOKOVIC 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 RAONIC

The eight-times Australian Open champion and world number one is into the quarter finals for a 12th time! There were doubts over Djokovic's fitness, but there were no real signs of it hindering him here. This had the potential to be a real test. Raonic is swept aside!

13:20

*DJOKOVIC 5-4 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

There's the breakthrough and Djokovic will serve for a place in the Australian Open quarter finals! Raonic managed to save two break points in that service game, but he couldn't save a third, finding the net.

13:15

DJOKOVIC 4-4 RAONIC* (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

The break chances are coming for both players at the moment. Raonic had 30-30 on the Djokovic serve there, but as often happens the world number one tightens things up and holds.

13:11

*DJOKOVIC 3-4 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

Chances for Djokovic! He had 0-30 only to then face three massive serves in a row from Raonic. Then he had a good look at a forehand at deuec, but put it in the net. Raonic escapes.

13:06

DJOKOVIC 3-3 RAONIC* (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

Three swift games in a row and the pressure shifts back to Raonic on his serve.

13:02

*DJOKOVIC 2-3 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

A love hold for Roanic. Djokovic is starting to show signs of frustration again. He is struggling to gain any sort of traction on the Raonic serve as he was in the third set.

13:01

Now that's an image!

12:59

DJOKOVIC 2-2 RAONIC* (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

Raonic had 0-30 on the Djokovic serve, but he couldn't make the most of the opportunity as the world number one wins four straight points to keep the scoreboard turning in his favour.

12:54

*DJOKOVIC 1-2 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

Raonic looked to be in a spot of bother at 15-40 down, but the Canadian saves both break points and grinds out the hold. That was important for Raonic to stay in this contest.

12:49

DJOKOVIC 1-1 RAONIC* (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

Djokovic has now won 10 of the last 12 points on his serve. It feels like Raonic is serving a lot at the moment. That's where all the pressure is right now.

12:47

*DJOKOVIC 0-1 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6, 6-1)

An important hold of serve from Raonic at the start of the fourth set. There was even some nice exchange play at the net from the Canadian on game point. Can he turn the momentum of this match around?

12:43

*DJOKOVIC 6-1 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6)

That turned into a one-sided set in the end with Djokovic winning five games in a row. Raonic needs to gather himself for this fourth set otherwise it will be all over. Djokovic looks to be focused again.

12:41

*DJOKOVIC 5-1 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6)

It's unravelling a bit for Raonic now as he's broken for a second time in this set. Djokovic will have the chance to serve for the third set. The Serbian has really raised the standard of his returns.

12:36

DJOKOVIC 4-1 RAONIC* (7-6, 4-6)

The number one seed backs up the break with a hold and he has a commanding lead in this third set. Raonic had an opportunity at 0-30, but Djokovic found some big serving of his own.

12:31

*DJOKOVIC 3-1 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6)

Djokovic breaks for the first time in the match! The world number one stepped things up. His returning game was fantastic and Raonic couldn't stick with Djokovic in the baseline rallies. Big moment.

12:24

DJOKOVIC 2-1 RAONIC* (7-6, 4-6)

Strong start to the third set by Djokovic who holds serve with relative ease. Now, can he make any sort of inroad on the Raonic serve? He has yet to break the Canadian in this match!

12:23

'Too good' - Raonic gets off to flyer against Djokovic

12:22

*DJOKOVIC 1-1 RAONIC (7-6, 4-6)

Three aces in a row from Raonic to bring up 40-0. Djokovic gives himself some hope with a wonderful return winner for 40-15, but the Canadian holds. This is a bit of a puzzle for Djokovic.

12:19

DJOKOVIC 1-0 RAONIC* (7-6, 4-6)

A fuss-free hold of serve from Djokovic at the start of the third set. He needed that. Of course, we wouldn't expect any less from the world number one. He won't allow his focus to be shaken.
