Djokovic* 1-1 Wawrinka
Beating Etcheverry was a huge scalp for the Swiss star.
But could Djokovic show a bridge too far?
The Serbian No2 seed appears like he’s going to make mincemeat of Wawrinka’s very first service video game, roaring to a 0-40 lead, dabbling his challenger.
But the previous world No3 conserves all 3 break points and goes on to win the video game, sealed with an ace.
Not long to wait now
Novak Djokovic, accompanied by coach Goran Ivanisevic, is making his method towards the Centre Court entryway – where Stanislas Wawrinka is waiting, limbering up.
There’s a constant drip of fans leaving the Wimbledon premises now, as 10s of thousands make their method home.
For the lucky couple of with Centre Court tickets, their Friday night has actually only simply started.
Remember, there’s an 11pm curfew in location – so, similar to Andy Murray vs Stefanos Tsitsipas last night, this might not be completed this evening.
Wawrinka is definitely no mug, even at 38 years of ages – he beat No29 seed Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the preliminary.
He’s won every Grand Slam other than Wimbledon. He’s never ever made it past the quarter-finals at SW19.
You’d anticipate Djokovic to get the win, however can he do it in the two-and-a-quarter or two hours he’ll have after their warm-ups?
Happy couple
Strong together on and off the court it appears.
Boulter and De Minaur were spotted beaming together as they headed back within after their combined doubles win.
It’s been a terrific week for Boulter… protesters aside.
Anything else tonight?
Well, yes really!
We’ve still got one HUGE match left on Centre Court.
Novak Djokovic handles Stanislas Wawrinka – a three-time Grand Slam winner – wanting to win his 8th Wimbledon title.
I’m sure you’re questioning how Boulter and De Minaur got on, too?
Well, they went out straight sets winners over Aussie duo Peers and Hunter 6-2 6-4.
Swiatek 6-2 7-5 Martic
Game, set and match, Swiatek.
Well, she was definitely required to work for it.
But the world No1 is securely through to the 4th round.
She had a couple of opportunities to seal the deal previously.
But Swiatek has actually prevented a prospective banana skin in the 30th seed.
Swiatek* 6-2 6-5 Martic
Oh no, what’s occurred here?
Martic is 40-0 up on her serve and apparently travelling for a tie break at worst.
But Swiatek in some way claws her method back to win the video game and will now – for a 2nd time – serve for the match.
