"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.

The 20-time major champion now has the third-longest grass-court winning streak for a man in the Open Era.

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.

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 is onto the Wimbledon quarterfinal after a solid challenge from wild-card entry Tim van Rijthoven, who even took a set from the Serbian star.

His pursuit of a fourth consecutive, and seventh overall, title at Wimbledon, not to mention a 21st major championship, will continue Tuesday against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner of Italy. With that serve and a lot of talent, great touch, powerful forehand, he can do a lot of damage," Djokovic said. "It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace." "There’s no reason ... not to keep this going," said Bouzkova, who pulled out of the French Open in May after testing positive for COVID-19 before her second-round match. Didn't matter that the spectators, who love an underdog, were getting louder and louder as the second set came to a close. Didn't matter that van Rijthoven kept cranking out huge serves, to the tune of 20 aces, including a pair on second serves. Soon enough, the third set was his, and not much later, so was the fourth, and the match, a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 result that gave the tournament's No. 1 seed a 25th consecutive grass-court victory at the All England Club and a place in his 13th Wimbledon quarterfinal. Didn't matter just how big the cuts were that van Rijthoven took with his forehands. He had all the answers." Beforehand, van Rijthoven had said: "I’ll go into that match thinking I can win." Glad I did." "Whew. I am lucky," Djokovic said after closing the deal with 20 minutes to spare.

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.

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.

The six-time Wimbledon champ pulled away from the Dutch wild card for a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory on a new-look Middle Sunday and next gets No.

There he’d been, alongside a gallery of greats that included Rod Laver, Billie Jean King, John Newcombe, Chrissie Evert, Roger Federer, Venus Williams, Bjorn Borg, Andy Murray, Simona Halep, and Rafael Nadal. Nine hours later, as night fell over the All England Club, Djokovic had earned his 36th straight victory on Centre Court and had Wimbledon all to himself. Overall I think I've played very well, very solid from back of the court. He had all the answers.” Along the way, van Rijthoven’s big wins included Taylor Fritz, Felix Auger-Aliassime and, in the final, Daniil Medvedev. He’s followed that up impressively at Wimbledon, in his Slam main-draw debut beating Federico Delbonis, 15th-seeded Reilly Opelka, and 22nd-seeded Nikoloz Basilashvili.

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.

Even knowing what an unusual Wimbledon this has been, surely Djokovic would not lose to someone making their Grand Slam debut, would he?

“It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace.” His pursuit of a fourth consecutive, and seventh overall, title at Wimbledon, not to mention a 21st major championship, will continue Tuesday against No. 10 seed Jannik Sinner of Italy. Didn’t matter that the spectators, who love an underdog, were getting louder and louder as the second set came to a close.

Didn’t matter that van Rijthoven kept cranking out huge serves, to the tune of 20 aces, including a pair on second serves. Didn’t matter just how big the cuts were that van Rijthoven took with his forehands. He had all the answers.” Jabeur made it to the quarterfinals at the All England Club for the second year in a row with a 7-6 (9), 6-4 victory against No. 24 Elise Mertens of Belgium. The other women moving on Sunday are unseeded and in unfamiliar territory, never having been in any major quarterfinal. Didn’t matter that Djokovic stumbled behind what he called a “slippery” baseline twice, landing first on his backside, later on his left knee and stomach. Glad I did.” “It’s never really pleasant if you can’t finish the match in the same day. All of nine minutes later, the time it took Djokovic to grab 12 of the next 15 points, and the next three games, both plausibility and possibility took a hike.

The 2023 Australian Open could be back on the agenda for Novak Djokovic after a key federal government decision. Read more here.

Djokovic headed to Melbourne looking to win a fourth consecutive Australian Open title after being granted a visa to enter Australia in January. Novak Djokovic could return to Melbourne Park next year despite being banned from applying for a visa to enter Australia for three years Novak Djokovic could be in line to compete at the Australian Open next year, despite being banned from applying for a visa to enter Australia for three years.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC will still face an anxious wait to learn his Australian Open 2023 fate.

A court hearing upheld the decision to cancel his visa 'on health and good order grounds', denying him the opportunity to defend his title in Melbourne. A corresponding statement read: "From 12.01am, July 6, people will be able to travel to and from Australia without being required to declare their COVID-19 vaccination status. Australia's Minister for Home Affairs, Clare O'Neil, has announced that from Wednesday, people entering the country will no longer have to complete a Digital Passenger Declaration (DPD) to declare their Covid vaccination status.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC just managed to get his fourth-round match against Tim van Rijthoven finished before the 11pm curfew in place at Wimbledon.

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.

The reigning champion's fourth-round match against Tim van Rijthoven on Centre Court on Sunday began at 8pm and finished just before 11pm.

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.

The reigning Wimbledon champion’s seven-year-old son is “in love” with tennis and has already won a children’s tournament this year. The world No 3 has now revealed that his son’s choice of technique was intentional.

Novak Djokovic has said that he would support an eventual wish from his son to play tennis but he considers it way too early to think about it.

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 feel like it’s important to try different things because it will help the development of the brain and also motoric skills”. “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. Last 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”, he explained. 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”. “I try to use every available opportunity, possibility, time to play with him because he’s right now fully immersed into tennis.

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.

Novak Djokovic admits he can see a lot of Jannik Sinner in himself as the pair face off for a place in the Wimbledon semi-finals on Tuesday.

Novak Djokovic said that the start times for the evening sessions at the All England Club were effectively turning Wimbledon into an indoor tournament for ...

“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. Former Wimbleddon champion, Andy Murray, too had complained about the scheduling after his match against Australia’s James Duckworth was interrupted for 10 minutes as the roof closed. It is pretty unpredictable,”Sally Bolton, the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club (AELTC) chief executive was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

The Serbian is a massive favorite to win, but in three sets? There's an opportunity here.

The Italian is just barely removed from being a teenager himself, yet he has been a Top 10 player before and just might be one again by the end of the year. With that in mind, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody if Djokovic takes care of business against Sinner. Sinner took care of Isner in straight sets, impressive considering how well the grass suits big servers.

Former World No. 1 Andy Roddick says he and Novak Djokovic squashed their feud long ago and now have a fair relationship. At the 2008 US Open, ...

"I thought that he would do well in Paris, the game was there, but that match against Rafa was tough. Maybe he was a bit surprised at the beginning, when he lost important and long games," said Vajda. "How bad was his feud with Novak in the late 2000s? Going into his 2022 French Open quarterfinal match against Rafael Nadal, Djokovic was the favorite to win. Andy was saying that I have 16 injuries in the last match, so obviously I don't, right?" At the 2008 US Open, Djokovic defeated Tommy Robredo in five sets to reach the quarterfinals.

Sinner beat Alcaraz in the previous round and knows victory over Djokovic would see him reach a first grand slam semi-final.

On facing Djokovic, he added: “It’s going to be a tough match. “I don’t know in the future what’s going to happen. “I know it going to be a very challenging match for both of us. He’s maturing a lot on the big stage. He believes he can win against anybody, any stadium, which is important for a young player like him. We practiced here a couple of times so I know what to expect.
