    Novak Djokovic pulls it back to 6-5, one more big serve by Hubert Hurkacz will do it... but Djokovic gets the return and a forehand into the net by Hurkacz makes it 6-6!

    And Hubert Hurkacz just casually rattles off a couple of aces and he has three set points.

    Concern for Novak Djokovic here...

    A double fault by Novak Djokovic and that draws 'oohs' of surprise as Hubert Hurkacz gets the mini-break.

    Hurkacz 6-6 (3-2) Djokovic*

    It is a familiar pattern in the tie-break with no hint of a mini-break yet as Hubert Hurkacz leads 3-2.

    And Novak Djokovic breezes through his service game. Hubert Hurkacz is able to get a few first serves back over but Djokovic then has his opponent stretched on the court trying to make shots and he holds to love.

    To a tie-break we go.

    When you think about putting together a game plan against Djokovic, try and keep the rallies short. You don't want him getting into a rhythm.

    Hurkacz 6-5 Djokovic*

    Another brilliant display of serving as Hubert Hurkacz holds to love.

    He's made 88% of his first serves, hitting six aces. He is doing exactly what he needs to do when facing the defending champion.

    Novak Djokovic is serving to stay in this opening set.

    What a weekend TV presenter Ant McPartlin has had. The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here host was at Silverstone yesterday to watch qualifying for the British Grand Prix and today he's at Wimbledon watching Novak Djokovic.

    We sometimes talk about scoreboard pressure - and Djokovic is not immune to it. The pressure mounts, and it doesn't matter who you are.

    However, both have managed to avoid facing a break point as Novak Djokovic hits a couple of winners to hold.

    *Hurkacz 5-4 Djokovic

    The serving has been on point so far in this match by both players, with Novak Djokovic making 80% of his first serves.

    But he has a bit of a wobble with a first double fault and it is 30-30, he follows that up with an excellent backhand winner but loses the next point and it is deuce again.

    Easily the game of the match so far, although there wasn't much competition.

    Hurkacz gets taken to deuce with a youngster in the crowd grabbing the ball that flew his way. And gets a round of applause for doing so to give him a great story to tell his mates back at school tomorrow.

    It's largely been an exhibition of serving, with that game the first time either man's serve has come under any sort of pressure.

    It's very much got the feel of a tie-break coming - and if so Djokovic is 3-0 in them at this tournament.

    Business end of the first set, and Hurkacz needs to find the mark with those big first serves.

    Hurkacz 5-4 Djokovic*

    Biggest cheer so far of the match as a young fan catches the ball from a high and wide Hubert Hurkacz's effort.

    Hurkacz isn't in the mood for joining in with the joviality, though, because it is deuce on his serve. But he's able to keep his cool, taking the next two points and cementing the hold with a fine cross-court forehand and we stay on serve.

    Hurkacz 4-4 Djokovic*

    Superb stuff from Novak Djokovic as he gets a 135mph first serve from Hubert Hurkacz back over on his way to taking the first point of this game.

    A decent rally on the next point ends with Djokovic moving 30-0 up and for the first time in this game the person serving is feeling the heat.

    Djokovic is just about able to return a thunderous Hurkacz serve but can't reach the forehand at the net before more great work at the net makes it 30-30.

    Hurkacz 4-4 Djokovic*

    Hubert Hurkacz takes the first point off Novak Djokovic's serve in this game, the defending champion failing to get a backhand return over the net.

    A big second serve has too much for Hurkacz and it is 15-15 before the Pole's forehand drops just the wrong side of the baseline and Djokovic leads 30-15.

    Djokovic takes the next point before completing the hold with another big serve.

    And the big hitter from Poland holds to love.

    We're speeding through this first set.

    But now we do, which Hubert Hurkacz brings to an end when he sends a good forehand down the line and it is 15-0 on his serve. Lovely shot.

    *Hurkacz 3-3 Djokovic

    Hubert Hurkacz stretches to get to a well-paced shot at the net by Novak Djokovic but he sends it long before Djokovic sends a shot right into the corner to lead 30-0.

    Another ace wraps up the hold and we are yet to see any sort of rally in this match.
