Djokovic

NOVAK DJOKOVIC is aiming to reach the quarter finals of Wimbledon for the 13th time in his career.

Onus on Van Rijthoven to bounce back. Wayward from the six-time Wimbledon champion though as he squanders a chance to bring up two set points. Too good from Djokovic at the moment. A winner at the net allows him to hold for 1-1. Advantage to the Dutchman. Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 1-0 Van Rijthoven Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 3-0 Van Rijthoven And again. Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 5-0 Van Rijthoven Now do it again. Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 6-1 2-0 Van Rijthoven Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 6-1 6-2 Van Rijthoven - MATCH

Deuce. That’s out though from Van Rijthoven, third set point coming up. Djokovic leads two sets to one! And Djokovic moves a break up in the fourth set! Net cord pops the ball up perfectly for Van Rijthoven to put the ball away - he sends a forehand halfway up the net from a few feet away. Djokovic flicks it crosscourt, Van Rijthoven can’t make the volley into the empty court. Still not enough, Van Rijthoven with the put-away at the net. Looked to have done enough with the forehand, but Djokovic somehow stretched to make him hit an overheard. Rare missed return from Djokovic - lands just beyond the baseline. Again there’s not enough patience from Van Rijthoven - got bored of the slice battle and then slaps a forehand long. Sublime from Djokovic, drop shot is just too good and Van Rijthoven can’t chase it down. Van Rijthoven is making his Grand Slam debut and has made an immediate impact, knocking out seeds Nikoloz Basilashvili and Reilly Opelka to reach this stage. Sensational from the top seed and he marches on.

Djokovic's management team will consider applying for a waiver of his re-entry ban since the reasons for the original visa cancellation for his vaccination ...

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.

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.

"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.

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. “It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace.” Didn't matter that the spectators, who love an underdog, were getting louder and louder as the second set came to a close. 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 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.

#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.

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.
