ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) — Top-seeded Novak Djokovic has reached the quarterfinals of the Adelaide International where he will face Denis Shapovalov. Djokovic defeated Quentin Halys 7-6 (3) 7-6 (5), and Shapovalov beat Roman Safiullin 6-4, 6-3 to advance. Djokovic and other top players are using this event as a warm-up for the Australian Open which begins Jan. 16. Djokovic missed the Australian Open last because he was unvaccinated. He’s been allowed to enter this year as COVID-19 restrictions have been relaxed.
