    Novak has to believe here that if he can keep making good returns, then he has a chance.

    Novak Djokovic won't go away. Like that boss on the computer game that you cannot finish off.

    Paul: At what point does the 16-year age gap between the two really start to take its toll? Doesn’t seem to be yet. Djokovic hasn’t been tested like this at Wimbledon for years.

    John: The only players to have played against Djokovic like this are Federer, Nadal and Murray.

  6. Another chance for Djokovic...published at 17:46 British Summer Time 16 July 2023

    *Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 2-2 Djokovic

    But that's a hammer blow off the forehand. A stunning return from the seven-time champ.

    Djokovic has another chance to pinch the serve.

    That is what makes this match so utterly captivating.

    There is just absolutely no telling which way it will go. While it may seem Alcaraz has got the momentum, Djokovic is just biding his time. Waiting to pounce.

    He's missed another backhand! We just don't see this on the biggest points - on this stage - from Novak Djokovic.

    Deuce.

    Alcaraz goes wide. Novak Djokovic has a break point.

    Of course we have seen this so many times before. Djokovic has built a career out of pulling off the impossible.

    Four years ago he was down two match points in the final against Roger Federer and still won. This is easy compared to that.

    Alcaraz misses a sitter of a volley. 30-30.

    How is Alcaraz getting those balls back?

    There is no shot that this guy cannot hit.

    The walk may be slower than in the first set but Djokovic fights his way out of trouble. His coach Goran Ivanisevic rises to his feet.

    You know he won't go down without giving everything.

    Djokovic is doing everything he can but Carlos Alcaraz looks like the winner right now. He's fizzing shots everywhere, leaving Djokovic stumbling.

    Deuce...

    What a shot!

    Take a bow Carlos Alcaraz. For two or three hits there I was thinking how on earth has he managed to get to that. Ludicrous tennis.

    Is this the creation of a sporting superstar in front of our eyes?

    Centre Court rises as Alcaraz thrashes a winner in reply to a Djokovic smash. He just stands there taking the applause.

    It's now 30-30 on the Djokovic serve.

    That's vicious hitting from Carlos Alcaraz. He takes Novak Djokovic's legs away by pounding the ball again and again towards the Serb.

    When he finally puts the winner away, Alcaraz's stares at his box, pointing at the floor. "I'm still here. Right here," he's saying.

    Djokovic, meanwhile, looks like he struggling at the back of the court.

    I've managed to locate Andy Murray in the crowd. He seems to be the calmest one in the house as everyone else ooohhs and ahhhs around him, leaping up and down from their seats.

    On court, it's Djokovic's turn to apply the pressure. A probing backhand from the Serb takes us to deuce.

    It will be interesting to see if the crowd want a fifth set and start pulling for Djokovic now.

    Alcaraz will be very disappointed with that. He had an opportunity there.

    They don't come around too frequently against the great Djokovic.
