Novak Djokovic v Lucas Pouille (Saturday)
Marion Bartoli
Former Wimbledon champion on BBC Radio 5 live
Realistically, Novak Djokovic is by far the favourite. He will attack the backhand of Lucas Pouille, which is his weakness.
Lucas will have to serve extremely well - he will have to find a way and be aggressive.
Lucas' coach Amelie Mauresmo is a very fine tactician. I think I know which tactics will be used. She will ask Lucas to slice more and use the forehand during the slower balls.

Almost every time Nadal is at the net he is successful. He punches away a volley and moves to 40-0, before a great backhand return brings Tsitsipas his first point of the game.
But it counts for nothing as the Greek's next shot is just wide and it is 3-3 in the second.
