"I lost the rhythm on my serve a little bit towards the end of the match, but overall just a good fight and really challenging match for me on grass." "He's maturing a lot on the big stage. Attacking the Dutchman's backhand corner, Djokovic secured an instant break in the fourth set to quell any thoughts of a turnaround. He made just two unforced errors in the third set as he found his groove on return, eliminating the free points that served to boost van Rijthoven's confidence in the early stages. I got into his service rhythm, started reading his serve better in the third and fourth sets." He ended the perfect 8-0 grass season of Dutch wild card Tim van Rijthoven with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory on Centre Court to bring the Dutchman's dream Grand Slam debut to a close.

Novak will face Jannik Sinner in a battle for the semi-final after the Italian took down Carlos Alcaraz in four sets earlier today. Novak tamed his strokes nicely with 28 winners and 19 unforced errors, while his rival counted 41 direct points and 53 errors. Novak played better behind the first serve and made the difference with the second, surviving the opponent's 20 aces and earning no less than 17 break chances.

#Wimbledon This #Djokovic level in the 3rd set against Van Rijthoven is breathtaking and scary at the same time. They've faced off at an ATP Tour event just once, with Djokovic claiming a straight-set victory in the 2021 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. The only source of drama was whether Djokovic would have the win wrapped up before the 11 p.m. curfew. Instead, he was brutally efficient against Van Rijthoven in the third to reassert control.

Van Rijthoven displayed impressive resilience to level the match. Damn, Van Rijthoven is good...maybe not beat-Djokovic-good...but really good...And what a pity the guy gets zero ranking points - ie. Djokovic had little time for Van Rijthoven's Cinderella story in the first set. he'll still have to qualify for events - after this. Van Rijthoven upset No. 15 Reilly Opelka in the second round and took down No. 22 Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets in the third round.

Italian won 6-1, 6-4, 6-7 (8), 6-3 to stun his teenage opponent in a match between the two youngest players left in the men's draw.

Alcaraz saved five match points on his own serve at 2-5, but could do nothing about the sixth, as Sinner thrashed a final winner. A Sinner forehand went long – and they went to a fourth set. A rocket of a return that painted the baseline earned Sinner a break at the start of the second, but Alcaraz finally found some rhythm. Just as Alcaraz looked to be getting on top, Sinner broke for 3-1 and held nervously from 0-40 for 4-1. His first ace of nine on Sunday was his 43rd for the tournament and he has been banging them down at up to 135mph. While both were as green as the grass – six matches on the surface for Alcaraz, eight for Sinner – the Spaniard’s bigger game looked suited to it.

CARLOS ALCARAZ lost to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon fourth round.

It was saved with a 127mph serve from the 19-year-old but Sinner successfully challenged a ball to deny Alcaraz a game point. Alcaraz saved both but - just like in the third set tiebreak - Sinner wowed the crowd with a cross-court forehand winner and set up his fifth match point. An error from the fifth seed's racket gave the Italian a match point but he dumped the ball in the net again. There were no minibreaks as the young stars changed ends at 3-3 but it was Sinner who was first to crack as he served from the other end, failing to get the ball over the net to gift Alcaraz a 4-3 lead and he held twice to set up three set points. And Alcaraz found himself facing three break points immediately at the start of the third but rallied to hold for 1-0, hitting three winners en route in what looked to be something of a turning point for the Spaniard who started to look more like his usual self. But it was Sinner who got off to a stronger start, breaking the fifth seed for a 3-1 lead in the opener.

Novak Djokovic is seeking his 21st Grand Slam title, and 7th title at the All England Club and is the overwhelming favorite to top the rest of the field.

He will have to do it against the defending champion on Tuesday. Sinner and Nole have only met once, it came in the Monte Carlo Monaco Masters last year when Djokovic won 6-4, 6-2. He took down Carlos Alcaraz in four sets to set up a quarterfinal date with Djokovic on Tuesday. Kyrgios and Djokovic have only played twice before, and the Aussie won both of those matchups. The Aussie beat Stefano Tsitsipas by beating the Greek three sets to one which will set up a Round of 16 match up with Brandon Nakashima. He has played Djokovic a total of 59 times with the Serbian just edging out Nadal with 30 wins to the Spaniard’s 29. Alcaraz, as promising as his future might be, would have needed a near miracle to beat Djokovic on grass.

Novak Djokovic came through a stern examination, as he beat Tim van Rijthoven to book his place in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon.

A second break followed in the seventh game, and victory was secured one game later. Everything was returned, and most of it with interest as he wrapped it up in 30 minutes. Van Rijthoven backed up the break and two games later served out the set, but did it the hard way. In Van Rijthoven, he came up against a rising talent with a big serve and an array of shots. Van Rijthoven was highly touted as a junior before his career was derailed by a series of injuries. “I have never faced him before,” Djokovic said.

It is believed to be considering applying for a waiver of his re-entry ban since the reasons for the original visa cancellation are now obsolete. This was despite the government conceding in court documents that Djokovic posed a "negligible health risk" to Australians at the time and it was willing to accept he had entered the country with a valid visa in line with ATAGI health recommendations. The unvaccinated Djokovic was at the centre of an international media frenzy when the Morrison government twice cancelled his visa in January this year, with Djokovic winning one court challenge but failing in a second before being deported.

Tim van Rijthoven was upbeat after making his Centre Court debut in his first Wimbledon appearance and left Novak Djokovic impressed.

Van Rijthoven was just 1-2 at tour-level entering June, when he shocked Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz to win the 's-Hertogenbosch title in his second ATP Tour main-draw appearance. "I grew in the match, started to play better," van Rijthoven continued. Wimbledon debutant Tim van Rijthoven has been the breakout star of the ATP Tour's grass-court season behind victories in his first eight tour-level matches on the surface.

Also the time between the matches, you almost certainly, if you're scheduled last on the Centre, you're going to end up a match under the roof, which changes the conditions, the style of play, the way you move on the court. Djokovic played his entire match under the Centre Court lights and he feels conditions are completely different on the grass surface when the roof is closed. But Wimbledon have long seen matches on their main two courts go deep into the night, particularly when there is a five-set tie. Wimbledon have stuck to tradition over the years, starting play on the main two courts at 1pm and 1.30pm respectively. Heather Watson didn't step out onto court until 2.08pm and that had a knock-on effect throughout the day. On the outside courts, play starts at 11am, meaning most matches are all finished by early evening.

Novak Djokovic said his son had won his first tournament on the same day he won the Italian Open.

Six-times Wimbledon champion Djokovic will face Italian 10th seed Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals. “I try to use every available opportunity … to play with him because he’s right now fully immersed into tennis,” Djokovic told reporters after his win over Tim van Rijthoven at Wimbledon on Sunday. “Everything around tennis, how he can play, he’s watching, he’s analysing. “But it’s too early to speak about it, to be honest.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC's seven-year-old son has been joining him on the Wimbledon practice courts.

“Of course I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be professional tennis player if he intends to, if he really wants to,” Djokovic said. We're talking.” And the seven-year-old’s newfound love for tennis was so deep that it seemed he couldn’t stop asking his dad questions. I'm trying to teach him to finish the hand here, the swing, over the shoulder.” “I try to use every available opportunity, possibility, time to play with him because he's right now fully immersed into tennis. The reigning Wimbledon champion’s seven-year-old son is “in love” with tennis and has already won a children’s tournament this year.

DURING the Wimbledon Centre Court Centenary celebration, Novak Djokovic shed some light on a conversation he had with six-time champion Billie Jean King.

I have had some previous experience of playing a match over two days under the roof against [Rafa] Nadal a couple of years back and it wasn't fun, so I am glad I did get it done and now I am just looking forward to the next challenge." "It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace and the conditions under the roof, but overall I closed out the match well. In the process, Djokovic set up a mouth-watering clash with Jannik Sinner, who knocked out teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz. "He was a very tough opponent," said Djokovic of his Dutch opponent sealing victory.

The defending champion was pictured playing with Stefan ahead of his quarter-final match.

“Of course I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be (a) professional tennis player if he intends to, if he really wants to. “He’s in love with tennis right now,” the 35-year-old continued. “We have this kind of funny moments on the court,” he later added. “I don’t like children very early just doing only one sport. But it’s too early to speak about it, to be honest. He likes to do that.

I feel like it's very important to have, particularly at this young age, a lot of stimulus to the children from different perspectives and different sports and different movement, different activities. I never force him to be on the tennis court, but if he wants, I try to always make myself ready to be there and play with him.” “It's important for me that we have a relationship as a father and son, first of all, primary, before anything else, and that he's enjoying life, that he's having fun,” Djokovic said. “[Saturday] night when I was putting him to bed, he was asking me questions: What is the difference between the racquet head sizes, the strings, why somebody is stringing less tension, all these basic questions that kids are very curious about. “I try to use every available opportunity, possibility, time to play with him because he's right now fully immersed into tennis. “He does that, but he does this as well.

Murray has also complained about the scheduling after his match against Australia’s James Duckworth was interrupted for 10 minutes as the roof closed. You cool off a little bit, as well. “I wish there was a way of finishing the matches outdoors more often because it’s tricky stopping for 10, 12 minutes in the middle of a match at important stages.

Jannik Sinner will need to play his best tennis to upset Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon Quarterfinals, David Goffin takes on Cameron Norrie.

Norrie in 4 Norrie has to be accounted the favourite given how their respective seasons has gone, but Goffin has been in the world’s top ten for a reason and boasts a solid record on grass.

"He's a very experienced player," Norrie assessed ahead of the pair's first meeting. He's not going to come and serve me off the court, which is good. The former World No. 7 ended his 2021 season in September due to a knee inury, but has enjoyed a resurgent 2022 campaign. "If you look at a lot of the top players, they get better as the tournament progresses," he said. "I kind of see a little bit of myself in his game," the Serbian said in his most recent press conference. "I feel like with myself, for sure, [that has been the case here]... I think I played my better two matches in the third and fourth rounds. It means a lot." "But I think it's even more reason for everyone to get behind me. The only major at which he has not progressed to that stage is the US Open, where he reached the fourth round last year. If you go Grand Slam after Grand Slam and you go into the second week, you have to be good also physically." "I made many quarter-finals, many Round of 16s. While his record stands at 8-17 in such contests, he improved that mark in the Wimbledon fourth round when he outclassed Carlos Alcaraz to reach his third career Grand Slam quarter-final.
