Sonego 4-1 Shelton*
As sloppy as Ben Shelton's been so far, Lorenzo Sonego's been the opposite.
The Italian's settled right into business on court one. He's not giving an inch.
Shelton keeps getting caught on the drop shot. Have Sonego's team told him to target the American's tendency to stay behind the baseline?

This is a tough way for De Minaur to play. He is having to absorb so much pace and weight against the elite players.
He has been on the tour for seven, eight years - he is 26 and has to project forward. Can he sustain this type of effort for possibly another 10 years?

It seems like the wind has calmed down a lot which makes it easier to play.
A really good feel on De Minaur's volleys. You have to be precise and he is.
Djokovic has found a much better quality on serve. How he is able to do what he does at his age, is remarkable.
De Minaur 6-1 4-6 4-3 Djokovic*
There's a big cheer from the Novak Djokovic supporters on Centre Court as the Serb wins the opening point to go up 0-15.
Alex de Minaur is completely unfazed, though, and quickly gets himself ahead 40-15.
A sumptuous forehand winner from Djokovic extends the game but he finds the net next point and it stays on serve.

A really poor game from Ben Shelton.
Lorenzo Sonego wins four points in a row to get a break but this was more to do with Shelton giving this away.
An ill-advised drop shot, a hot dog, a netted backhand and a wide forehand.
Shelton had the full repertoire there.

De Minaur is just dictating the whole match. Any time Djokovic tries something new, Alex has got the answers to it.
There are long, long rallies and this is not what Novak wants. He has been losing all of them and he isn't used to this. De Minaur is able to absorb everything Novak hits at him and move him around.
Where does Novak win this match? He is hoping that Alex makes a mistake but he's not today, which is a huge surprise.
Salisbury/Skupski 6-1 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (10-7) Gonzalez/Molteni
Image source, Getty ImagesBritish duo Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski are through to the men's doubles quarter-finals!
It looked like it was going to be an easy afternoon for the sixth seeds, after rattling through the opening set in 27 minutes, but the pair were forced to play out two tie-breaks.
After securing an early mini-break in the deciding set 10-point tie-break, the Brits won three points on the bounce to open up a healthy 8-5 lead over Argentinian duo Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni.
Salisbury then hit a bullet of an ace to secure a third match point before Skupski finished things off with a lovely overhead smash at the net, securing their quarter-final spot with a 6-1 6-7 (7-9) 7-6 (10-7) victory.
Wonderful teamwork from the British pair. It was hard work though - and Skupski's face shows it, with a puff of the cheeks followed by a beaming smile.
*De Minaur 6-1 4-6 3-3 Djokovic
Easy as you like for Novak Djokovic.
He's helped by getting three first serves in to move to 40-0. He's really got that serve going and those two double faults in the opening game of the match seem a long time ago now.
Sonego 2-1 Shelton*
Nothing to separate these two at the first change of ends in this first set.
We've had three holds on serve so far, with American 10th seed Ben Shelton to serve next.

De Minaur is pushing Djokovic from side to side. There was always going to be a difficult patch for him in this third set. But he has come through that and it has become pretty tight now.
De Minaur won't be feeling stressed or overwhelmed as he has done in the past against the big names.

Then the Australian wins a game of cat and mouse at the net with a delicious cross-court backhand winner.
De Minaur forces an error from the seven-time champion and another comfortable-ish hold.
*De Minaur 6-1 4-6 2-2 Djokovic
Alex de Minaur's return game deserts him, much to the Aussie's frustration, and Novak Djokovic holds to love, sealed with a lovely ace down the T.

The game plan that De Minaur has come up with is a really good one. He will have seen Djokovic play hundreds of time. He is doing well to execute it.
Novak is a little frustrated. Can we get AI to translate what he screamed up to his box please?
Djokovic is serving much better than he did in the first set. He got through that and he has found a way to get the job done.

Some of these looks and shouts Novak Djokovic is aiming at his team…
You’d hate to be sat where they are right now.
After initially keeping his cool, he’s certainly not hiding his emotions any longer.
Credit to Alex de Minaur. He is blocking it all out, locked in and sticking steadfast to his task.
*Sonego 0-0 Shelton
Lorenzo Sonego will serve to get us under way against Ben Shelton on court one.

A relatively rare easy service game, much to the relief of Alex de Minaur.
Novak Djokovic pinches a point from 40-0 down with a fine backhand down the line.
But De Minaur goes one better with a sumptuous backhand cross-court to end a long rally and seal the hold.
Djokovic looks on in admiration, not even attempting to reach it.

Djokovic looks like his age now for a change. He has been running around huffing and puffing and not been able to force the play. We usually see Novak pounding some big shots on his opponents but he has been running everywhere.
Alex has been very relaxed at the back of the court, pushing the ball and moving Novak around. It has been frustrating for Djokovic, he needs a good espresso. He has been barking at his team looking for encouragement.

Some really big serves help Novak Djokovic turn that break point around.
One in particular clips the intersecting lines in the corner of the service box. Alex de Minaur looks to the umpire for help but replays show it's in.
Unreal accuracy and another hold from deuce to continue this intriguing start to the third set.

This match has got a great intensity about it. Both players are refusing to miss from the back of the court.
Impeccable timing from Djokovic, the way he can direct it down the line. That is tougher than it looks.
Things haven't come easily for the former champion. He has not brought his 'A' game but still needs to find a way to win.
Image source, Getty ImagesDe Minaur 6-1 4-6 1-0 Djokovic*
Nice backhand down the line to start Novak Djokovic's opening service game of set three.
But a couple of tame misses - one wide, one netted - later and he's pegged back to 30-30. Slices another into the net and it's break point De Minaur.
Serve has not been dominant on Centre that's for sure.
