Novak Djokovic swept into the last 16 of a grand slam tournament for the 26th successive time on Friday and celebrated the victory with a spot of baby-sitting.

The world number one defeated Italy’s Andreas Seppi for the 11th time in 11 meetings, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 to inch closer to a sixth final in New York.
But instead of celebrating, the 28-year-old rushed straight into his media obligations before heading back to his city base to join wife Jelena and baby son Stefan.
The couple’s first child was born last October and since then Djokovic has won 69 matches and eight titles with just five losses.
That run includes this year’s Australian Open and Wimbledon crowns.
