It would be the right time for Flavio Cobolli to hit as many first serves as he can right now because Novak Djokovic is going to be all over those second serves.
*Cobolli 7-6 (8-6) 2-6 5-7 4-4 Djokovic
Almost at the point of no return for Flavio Cobolli. A mistake on serve now could be terminal for his Wimbledon chances.
Still plenty of juice behind his first serve, as proven by a 131mph ace.
But it's still not enough to hold of Novak Djokovic, who has a break point for a 5-4 lead...

The clock is ticking towards the three-hour mark in this quarter-final. World number one Jannik Sinner awaits the winner in the semi-finals on Friday and, putting aside any potential favouritism towards his fellow Italian, I'm sure he wouldn't mind this going to a fifth set.
Flavio Cobolli makes the perfect start to Novak Djokovic's service game and the crowd noise levels rise even more. Djokovic takes his time at the back of the court.
Cobolli sends two forehands off target and as Djokovic closes out the game, still we await a break point - let alone a break of serve - in the fourth set.

I think part of the frustration Novak Djokovic is feeling is that he's quite far from the finish line. He hasn't broken yet in that fourth set, he would have to break or get to a tie-break if he wants to win it.

Flavio Cobolli has performed admirably here. I did have my doubts as to whether he would get stage fright because he's never been on Centre Court before and he's playing his hero.
He was very outspoken and honest about it, yet he's come out here and shown us how capable he is.

Novak Djokovic will be very happy with the way he finished that service game.
As is often the way, Djokovic gets the job done when he is not perhaps playing his best.
