    John McEnerney: Big-time champions make big time plays when it matters. Top-level sport is all about pressure. Can you deal with it? Let’s see if Carlos can handle the pressure, we all know Novak can!

    The crowd is a little hushed, probably trying to save their energy, but don't think these early stages don't matter.

    We're into our fifth hour and Alcaraz moves to 30-30 on the Djokovic serve.

    All of a sudden it is Novak Djokovic looking really light on his feet.

    The whole momentum has switched.

    We're going the distance.

    Carlos Alcaraz double-faults. Novak Djokovic is surely the favourite now?

    There are chants of 'Nole, Nole, Nole'.

    It does feel like there has been a shift. This is where people will begin to fear for Alcaraz.

    Is there anyone better than Djokovic at going the distance?

    Ben: I fear for Alcaraz if this goes to a fifth set. Djokovic has upped the ante with the aggression here, and there's nobody like him for snatching victory from the jaws of defeat.

    Djokovic really did suffer a dip in energy but they are both right on it now.

    Oh no, what happened there?

    The crowd in front of me were all on their feet craning to check on Alcaraz as he slipped way behind the baseline.

    That is not the way any of us want this match to end. Thankfully he's fine to carry on.

    I cannot imagine how it must feel to be Carlos Alcaraz here. Yes, he has already won a Grand Slam but he didn't have to take on Djokovic there.

    Now he's up against one of the all-time greats on Centre Court. Alcaraz was at primary school when Djokovic last lost here.

    Djokovic looked vulnerable for some time but he is starting to turn the tables in this fourth set.

    90 seconds is nowhere near long enough for a break in a match like this but we're back under way.

    Djokovic takes the first point before Alcaraz launches into a forehand.

    Goodness me. Just when it seemed Alcaraz had all the momentum.

    Chants of 'Novak, Novak, Novak'.
