Day 4 of the Australian Open has offered up a number of highlights after a dismal day for Australians on Wednesday. On Thursday afternoon, Novak Djokovic took to the practice court ahead of his match with Enzo Couacaud without strapping around his leg - a welcome sign for fans amid the Serb's injury concerns.

During the afternoon session, No.2 seed Casper Ruud was up against young American Jenson Brooksby. And the young star continued the American dominance in Melbourne as Ruud followed Rafa Nadal out the door.
