Djokovic Fends Off Wawrinka
A late begin on the centre court docket meant Djokovic was at risk of working into the 11 pm curfew, however he managed to keep away from it, coming by means of 6-3, 6-1, 7-6(5) with the match ending at 10.45 pm.

Nevertheless, within the third, the three-time Grand Slam Champion lastly discovered a better stage, pushing Djokovic round to drive a tiebreak which he led 5-3, however his first serve nonetheless refused to fireplace as Djokovic reeled him in to win one more tiebreak.
He was two factors away from extending this match to a different day. Coming into the court docket right now, we knew it could be actually tight to complete the match right now. Considered one of us needed to win in straight units, and the primary two units regarded excellent for me. Then he raised his stage, and I dropped mine somewhat bit. And yeah, [the] crowd bought concerned. It was an excellent ambiance. And hopefully, you guys loved it. Djokovic on his win over Wawrinka.

Holger Rune got here by means of a fifth-set tiebreak to beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 6-3, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(10-8) after three hours and 58 minutes.

In poor health-advised? Based mostly on the end result, sure, however had it gained him the purpose, we’d all be saying how sensible it was. I’m undecided why he tried it, given how nicely he served, however that’s trademark Fokina.
