    No threat of another 26-minute game here!

    Carlos Alcaraz efficiently sets about his task, serving his way comfortably to a 5-1 lead.

    Just the two minutes required here - and now Novak Djokovic must serve to try and extend this a little longer.

    Incredible tennis. You feel like Alcaraz is going to have to warm up his serve, he hasn’t served in such a long time. You can see what it means to his team.

    Incredible!

    The entire arena were on their feet after that mammoth game.

    How crucial could that prove to be? Is that the moment?

    Alcaraz is back up to the baseline and ready to go before the umpire calls time with Djokovic still sat in his seat. He means business, now.

    What a brutal game. I need a wee and a lie down.

    This time?!

    Carlos Alcaraz points to his ear again as Djokovic goes long. The crowd responds.

    This is his seventh break point. The game has been going 25 minutes!

    Carlos Alcaraz that is stunning. I'll be honest, I'd rather you saved it for when my bladder wasn't going to explode but it was a stunning backhand all the same.

    Deuce number 12.

    Alcaraz is out-Djokovic-ing Djokovic. He's doing to him what Djokovic does to other players.

    Woooft!

    On Alcaraz's sixth break point, Djokovic stops mid-rally to challenge a call.

    He was right. It was a millimetre or two wide. Will this game ever end?

    You've got to feel for those who popped out to the loo after the third game.

    They've missed a classic here.

    Six break points, 11 deuce. And counting...

    Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 3-1 Djokovic*

    You guessed it.

    When he has to, Djokovic still has the strength to hold on.

    Deuce again.

  14. Another break point for Alcarazpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 16 July 2023

    Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 3-1 Djokovic*

    Nope. Not to be for Alcaraz. He misses with his lob again.

    But there's another Djokovic mistake - the wind again playing its part.

    Surely this time?

    Djokovic actually looks quite tired, dare I say it.

    He's putting so much into every single point that sometimes he's over-doing it and stumbling across court.

  16. Break point again for Alcarazpublished at 16:54 British Summer Time 16 July 2023

    Alcaraz 1-6 7-6 (8-6) 3-1 Djokovic*

    This game has been going on 15 minutes or so now as Djokovic misses the mark on a game point of his own.

    At deuce, Alcaraz bides his time and then unleashes the sledgehammer. It crashes through the Djokovic defences.

    Break point again.

    Another break-point chance goes by for Alcaraz as he misses a passing shot off the backhand.

    The longer this game goes on the more crucial it becomes.

    All of the action is at the Djokovic side of the court and Carlos Alcaraz seems happy to let it stay there.

    He's just rolling the ball in rather than going for his shots.

    Djokovic saved that break point but we're still stuck at deuce.

    Eeeek!

    Boos on Centre Court - not very Wimby, that.

    Djokovic is having a pop at the umpire for something while also glaring at the crowd as they chant Carlos Alcaraz's name.

    I'm not sure what that was about but either way Djokovic is rattled.
