Jannik Sinner dominated Jenson Brooksby in straight sets to move on to the round of 16.

The World No. 1 was untouchable on first serve, winning 46 of 53 points.

Sinner found his signature consistency today, while excelling at the net, where he won 17 of 20 points.

Meanwhile, 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic took care of Arthur Rinderknech in four sets.

The 39-year-old Serbian was certainly tested by Rinderknech's heavy serve and groundstrokes but rallied around his defensive play to persevere.

Djokovic dropped the third set as Rinderknech found his top form and continued to dominate on serve.

It looked like the match could be headed to a fifth set when Rinderknech forced a fourth-set tiebreaker; however, Djokovic remained unfazed and narrowly escaped.

*Predicted winner in bold

Match of the Day: Frances Tiafoe (17) vs. Alexander Bublik (10)

On Saturday, Frances Tiafoe and Alexander Bublik will compete in a match that promises to be exciting.

Both players will likely look to establish control with their serves and heavy groundstrokes.

However, Bublik has all the tools necessary to win this match, and if he utilizes his game at the net, he should be able to persevere in five sets.

One thing to watch for is whether Tiafoe's focus wanes as the match progresses, a pattern that has emerged in his longer matches.

Prediction: No. 10 Alexander Bublik def. No. 17 Frances Tiafoe in 5 sets

Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the Round of 16 after defeating Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets.

The World No. 1 played her most consistent match of the tournament, committing just 6 unforced errors.

Meanwhile, Naomi Osaka coasted past Daria Kasatkina.

The four-time major champion won 81 percent of the points on her first serve.

She continued to remain consistent from the baseline, committing just 13 unforced errors.

Osaka and Sabalenka will meet for the second consecutive Grand Slam, once again in the round of 16.

In other action, Coco Gauff outlasted American compatriot Claire Liu in three sets.

After dropping the second set in a tie-breaker, Gauff bounced right back and eased her way through the third set.

*Predicted winner in bold

Match of The Day: Alexandra Eala (29) vs. Iga Swiatek (3)

Alexandra Eala is hoping to continue her impressive run on the grass swing by upsetting defending champion Iga Swiatek.

The 21-year-old sensation has already logged grass-court wins against Elena Rybakina and Elinva Svitolina this season.

Eala is likely to start as the overwhelming underdog, but with her aggressive baseline play and overall grit, she is certainly capable of holding her own.

Swiatek should have enough in the tank to persevere, but it's unlikely she'll do so in straight sets.

Prediction: No. 3 Iga Swiatek def. No. 29 Alexandra Eala in 3 sets
