Nadal will now look to continue his good form when he heads into a clash against 28th seed Dzumhur, who won two ATP titles at the end of 2017 and beaten Paolo Lorenzi of Italy and Australian John Millman to set up an encounter against the top seed.

Matches of the third round of the Australian Open will start tonight.

Nadal's fourth-round match is against No. 24 Diego Schwartzman, who beat Aleksandr Dolgopolov 6-7 (1), 6-2, 6-3, 6-3.

It was an excellent response from the Bosnian as he proved he could cause problems for his auspicious opponent but Nadal regained the initiative immediately as he broke straight back.

Dzumhur showed more fight in the second and, despite going 2-0 down, he got back on terms with a break in the fourth game, only to lose another on his own serve in the next.

In the other quarter, Kyle Edmund will take on Andreas Seppi after his five-set win over Ivo Karlovic, while Grigor Dimitrov will face the victor of Nick Kyrgios and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

The 16-time Grand Slam victor then took 10 minutes to hold his serve in the first game of the third set before again breaking Dzumhur at the first time of asking for a 2-0 lead, a brilliant pick-up earning him the crucial lead after a delicate drop-shot.

Karlovic fell just short of becoming the oldest player to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam since Jimmy Connors' run to the US Open semifinals in 1991.

Svitolina, the only seeded player still in contention in her quarter, had five aces, only 11 unforced errors and didn't serve a double fault in the 59-minute match. He reeled off the first five games of the match to assume a commanding lead and wrapped up the set soon after.

"Per BBC Sport, Kostyuk took an admirable attitude to her defeat after an impressive tournament: "[I learned] a lot. "How much you have to pay Svitolina to have one-hour lesson?"
