  2. Sinner holds

    Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 1-0 Shelton*

    Jannik Sinner battled through the first set and really clicked into gear in the second.

    The Italian looks in full flow now as a passing shot put him in control of the opening game in the third.

    Sinner gets the hold to 15 and is going to take some stopping.

    BBC Sport senior tennis reporter at Wimbledon

    I mean, that was simply vintage Sinner.

    Shelton made four first serves to start the set-deciding game - but still found himself under pressure at 30-30.

    Sinner's ability to soak them up, then turn defence into attack, was seriously impressive.

  4. *Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 0-0 Shelton

    Nick Mullins
    Tennis commentator on BBC TV

    Jannik Sinner has got such strong legs, skier legs from days as a youngster growing up in the Dolomites in Italy. He had skis on those feet before he had a tennis racquet in his hand and he gets them round so effectively.

  5. Djokovic holds

    *Cobolli 5-6 Djokovic

    Novak Djokovic holds to love - what he would have given for that in the previous game.

    Pressure back on Flavio Cobolli after the changeover.

  6. Game and second set - Sinner

    *Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 6-4 0-0 Shelton

    Jannik Sinner converts his second break point of the set to take a 2-0 lead.

    Fists are pumped throughout the Italian's camp. He's one set away from the semi-finals.

  7. Cobolli 5-5 Djokovic*

    Make no mistake, Flavio Cobolli is hanging in these rallies with Novak Djokovic.

    It's just that final shot execution he is struggling with.

  8. Cobolli saves set point to hold

    Cobolli 5-5 Djokovic*

    Novak Djokovic wide with a forehand and Flavio Cobolli goes on to hold serve for five games all.

  9. Set point Djokovic

    *Cobolli 4-5 Djokovic

    Flavio Cobolli plays one of the best volleys you'll ever see to intercept a Novak Djokovic passing shot at the net for a winner. Even the great man applauds on the other side of the court.

    Followed immediately by a double fault and a Djokovic forehand that is absolutely mullered cross-court. 30-30.

    Cobolli would give anything for a straightforward hold of serve here but Djokovic won't allow it. Another break point - also a set point - incoming...

  10. Set point Sinner

    Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 5-4 Shelton*

    Jannik Sinner is so rapid into the net. He improvises a forehand return to a rocket serve from Ben Shelton, crouching to get out of harm's way, and follows it in to play a deft winner.

    The Italian pounces on a short shot to bury a forehand winner for 30-all and earns another break point as Shelton fires long.

  11. Shelton serving to stay in the second set

    Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 5-4 Shelton*

    Jannik Sinner's had a couple of ropey holds in the second set but this wasn't one of them. A comfortable hold to love for the Italian.

    Ben Shelton has asked for the physio. It looks like he wants some new tape on his left ankle.

  12. *Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 4-4 Shelton

    Nick Mullins
    Tennis commentator on BBC TV

    Ben Shelton is showing the confidence of a young man who is becoming more and more accustomed to success in these Grand Slams.

  13. *Cobolli 4-5 Djokovic

    Flavio Cobolli is not going anywhere.

  14. Cobolli breaks straight back

    *Cobolli 4-5 Djokovic

    Wow, you don't see that too often.

    Novak Djokovic had seized the initiative in the first set and was on the brink of taking it, but he sends a forehand wide and he is broken to love.

    In truth, it was all about Flavio Cobolli in that game. A couple of brilliant winners set the platform for the immediate break-back.

    Former GB Davis Cup captain on BBC Two

    Sometimes Jannik Sinner wants that forehand and he sort of moves round to hit the forehand but the spin is coming into his body. I think he should maybe wait to hit the two-handed backhand rather than the forehand there.

  16. Break points Cobolli

    Cobolli 3-5 Djokovic*

    A return winner and a forehand winner equal 0-30 in Flavio Cobolli's favour in this all-or-nothing game, as far as the first set is concerned.

    Novak Djokovic nets a backhand and Cobolli has three chances to break back...

  17. Shelton holds

    *Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 4-4 Shelton

    A 93mph forehand sees Ben Shelton save break point and bring up deuce.

    He jams up Jannik Sinner with a second serve for advantage and seals the game with a serve out wide which Sinner returns into the net.

  18. Djokovic breaks and serving for first set

    Cobolli 3-5 Djokovic*

    Flavio Cobolli saves with a fine serve-and-volley combo, but Novak Djokovic will get another chance to break as the Italian double-faults at a bad, bad time.

    At the fourth time of asking, Djokovic finally does break by outlasting Cobolli in a long rally. Cobolli's forehand was only just wide. Great hitting from both players.

  19. Break point Sinner

    Sinner 7-6 (7-2) 4-3 Shelton*

    A loose start from Ben Shelton, throwing in a double fault and firing a soft forehand well long to slip to 15-30.

    He finally gets a first serve in to level the game at 30-all.

    However, Jannik Sinner ties him down behind the baseline to earn a break point.

  20. 'Shelton has to try and win the second set'

    There is some stress on the elbow but Jannik Sinner is striking the ball beautifully but there are a lot of grimaces.

    If I'm Ben Shelton, I'm trying to find a way to win this second set. The longer this goes, the harder it gets for the world number one.
