NOVAK DJOKOVIC is aiming to reach the quarter finals of Wimbledon for the 13th time in his career.

Onus on Van Rijthoven to bounce back. Wayward from the six-time Wimbledon champion though as he squanders a chance to bring up two set points. Too good from Djokovic at the moment. A winner at the net allows him to hold for 1-1. Advantage to the Dutchman. Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 1-0 Van Rijthoven Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 3-0 Van Rijthoven And again. Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 5-0 Van Rijthoven Now do it again. Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 6-1 2-0 Van Rijthoven Djokovic* 6-2 4-6 6-1 6-2 Van Rijthoven - MATCH

"I lost the rhythm on my serve a little bit towards the end of the match, but overall just a good fight and really challenging match for me on grass." "He's maturing a lot on the big stage. Attacking the Dutchman's backhand corner, Djokovic secured an instant break in the fourth set to quell any thoughts of a turnaround. He made just two unforced errors in the third set as he found his groove on return, eliminating the free points that served to boost van Rijthoven's confidence in the early stages. I got into his service rhythm, started reading his serve better in the third and fourth sets." He ended the perfect 8-0 grass season of Dutch wild card Tim van Rijthoven with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory on Centre Court to bring the Dutchman's dream Grand Slam debut to a close.

Novak Djokovic is through to the quarterfinals at Van Rijthoven upset No. 15 Reilly Opelka in the second round and took down No. 22 Nikoloz Basilashvili in.

#Wimbledon This #Djokovic level in the 3rd set against Van Rijthoven is breathtaking and scary at the same time. They've faced off at an ATP Tour event just once, with Djokovic claiming a straight-set victory in the 2021 Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters. The only source of drama was whether Djokovic would have the win wrapped up before the 11 p.m. curfew. Instead, he was brutally efficient against Van Rijthoven in the third to reassert control. Djokovic after losing the 2nd set #Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/A0aWVtic6L He then earned a critical break later in the set to jump ahead 4-3. Van Rijthoven displayed impressive resilience to level the match. Damn, Van Rijthoven is good...maybe not beat-Djokovic-good...but really good...And what a pity the guy gets zero ranking points - ie. Djokovic had little time for Van Rijthoven's Cinderella story in the first set. he'll still have to qualify for events - after this. Van Rijthoven upset No. 15 Reilly Opelka in the second round and took down No. 22 Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets in the third round.

The 20-time major champion now has the third-longest grass-court winning streak for a man in the Open Era.

Novak Djokovic came through a stern examination, as he beat Tim van Rijthoven to book his place in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon.

A second break followed in the seventh game, and victory was secured one game later. Everything was returned, and most of it with interest as he wrapped it up in 30 minutes. Van Rijthoven backed up the break and two games later served out the set, but did it the hard way. In Van Rijthoven, he came up against a rising talent with a big serve and an array of shots. Van Rijthoven was highly touted as a junior before his career was derailed by a series of injuries. “I have never faced him before,” Djokovic said.

I think it would be quite helpful to finish matches maybe not using the roof.' I think it was necessary to celebrate the hundred years of Centre Court. For me it was an honour. There have been private gripes throughout the first week about the late start and the associated consequence of matches finishing under the roof. 'Also the time between the matches, you almost certainly, if you're scheduled last on the Centre, you're going to end up a match under the roof, which changes the conditions, the style of play, the way you move on the court.

It is believed to be considering applying for a waiver of his re-entry ban since the reasons for the original visa cancellation are now obsolete. This was despite the government conceding in court documents that Djokovic posed a "negligible health risk" to Australians at the time and it was willing to accept he had entered the country with a valid visa in line with ATAGI health recommendations. The unvaccinated Djokovic was at the centre of an international media frenzy when the Morrison government twice cancelled his visa in January this year, with Djokovic winning one court challenge but failing in a second before being deported.

Tim van Rijthoven was upbeat after making his Centre Court debut in his first Wimbledon appearance and left Novak Djokovic impressed.

Van Rijthoven was just 1-2 at tour-level entering June, when he shocked Daniil Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Taylor Fritz to win the 's-Hertogenbosch title in his second ATP Tour main-draw appearance. "I grew in the match, started to play better," van Rijthoven continued. Wimbledon debutant Tim van Rijthoven has been the breakout star of the ATP Tour's grass-court season behind victories in his first eight tour-level matches on the surface.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC just managed to get his fourth-round match against Tim van Rijthoven finished before the 11pm curfew in place at Wimbledon.

Also the time between the matches, you almost certainly, if you're scheduled last on the Centre, you're going to end up a match under the roof, which changes the conditions, the style of play, the way you move on the court. Djokovic played his entire match under the Centre Court lights and he feels conditions are completely different on the grass surface when the roof is closed. But Wimbledon have long seen matches on their main two courts go deep into the night, particularly when there is a five-set tie. Wimbledon have stuck to tradition over the years, starting play on the main two courts at 1pm and 1.30pm respectively. Heather Watson didn't step out onto court until 2.08pm and that had a knock-on effect throughout the day. On the outside courts, play starts at 11am, meaning most matches are all finished by early evening.

Novak Djokovic said his son had won his first tournament on the same day he won the Italian Open.

Six-times Wimbledon champion Djokovic will face Italian 10th seed Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals. “I try to use every available opportunity … to play with him because he’s right now fully immersed into tennis,” Djokovic told reporters after his win over Tim van Rijthoven at Wimbledon on Sunday. “Everything around tennis, how he can play, he’s watching, he’s analysing. “But it’s too early to speak about it, to be honest.

NOVAK DJOKOVIC's seven-year-old son has been joining him on the Wimbledon practice courts.

“Of course I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be professional tennis player if he intends to, if he really wants to,” Djokovic said. We're talking.” And the seven-year-old’s newfound love for tennis was so deep that it seemed he couldn’t stop asking his dad questions. I'm trying to teach him to finish the hand here, the swing, over the shoulder.” “I try to use every available opportunity, possibility, time to play with him because he's right now fully immersed into tennis.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic continues his pursuit of a seventh Wimbledon title as he beats Tim van Rijthoven to reach the quarter-finals.

But that was to be as good as it got for the wildcard. A double break helped Djokovic to a 5-0 lead in the third set before he clinched his fourth set point to retake control. A double fault on his first set point threatened to cost him - but Djokovic took a fall as he chased down a shot on his second of four break points in an epic conclusion to the set. Having missed three break points of his own in losing the first set, Van Rijthoven steadily grew into his first outing on Wimbledon's famous stage and sent the crowd into raptures as he followed up a couple of devastating forehand winners with a smash to break the world number three in set two. But while he was unable to pull off an almighty upset, Van Rijthoven announced himself on one of the sport's grandest stages with heavy hitting and a dogged determination to claim the second set. The statistics did not offer much encouragement for the little-known 25-year-old, whose career has been stalled by debilitating injuries, as he sought to make history as the first wildcard to beat the men's top seed at a Grand Slam in the open era.

“If you’re scheduled last on the Centre, you’re going to end up a match under the roof, which changes the conditions, the style of play, the way you move on the court. It’s one of those unique moments that you get to live as a tennis player, and I’ll cherish it. “But I think most of the players would probably agree that we would all want the start of the match on Centre Court pushed earlier.” “It is pretty unpredictable. “I think it’s understandable that players are providing feedback on the experience that they’re having at the Championships and of course we take account of all of that as we think about the way in which we plan our days.

Novak Djokovic has said that he would support an eventual wish from his son to play tennis but he considers it way too early to think about it.

I feel like it’s very important to have, particularly at this young age, a lot of stimulus to the children from different perspectives and different sports and different movement, different activities. I feel like it’s important to try different things because it will help the development of the brain and also motoric skills”. “Of course, I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be professional tennis player if he intends to, if he really wants to. Last night when I was putting him to bed, he was asking me questions: What is the difference between the racquet head sizes, the strings, why somebody is stringing less tension, all these basic questions that kids are very curious about”, he explained. I never force him to be on the tennis court, but if he wants, I try to always make myself ready to be there and play with him”. “I try to use every available opportunity, possibility, time to play with him because he’s right now fully immersed into tennis.

DURING the Wimbledon Centre Court Centenary celebration, Novak Djokovic shed some light on a conversation he had with six-time champion Billie Jean King.

I have had some previous experience of playing a match over two days under the roof against [Rafa] Nadal a couple of years back and it wasn't fun, so I am glad I did get it done and now I am just looking forward to the next challenge." "It took me a little bit of time to get used to his pace and the conditions under the roof, but overall I closed out the match well. In the process, Djokovic set up a mouth-watering clash with Jannik Sinner, who knocked out teenage sensation Carlos Alcaraz. "He was a very tough opponent," said Djokovic of his Dutch opponent sealing victory.

The defending champion was pictured playing with Stefan ahead of his quarter-final match.

“Of course I will support him in any possible way I can so that he can be (a) professional tennis player if he intends to, if he really wants to. “He’s in love with tennis right now,” the 35-year-old continued. “We have this kind of funny moments on the court,” he later added. “I don’t like children very early just doing only one sport. But it’s too early to speak about it, to be honest. He likes to do that.

The Serbian is a massive favorite to win, but in three sets? There's an opportunity here.

The Italian is just barely removed from being a teenager himself, yet he has been a Top 10 player before and just might be one again by the end of the year. With that in mind, it really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody if Djokovic takes care of business against Sinner. Sinner took care of Isner in straight sets, impressive considering how well the grass suits big servers.

Sinner beat Alcaraz in the previous round and knows victory over Djokovic would see him reach a first grand slam semi-final.

On facing Djokovic, he added: “It’s going to be a tough match. “I don’t know in the future what’s going to happen. “I know it going to be a very challenging match for both of us. He’s maturing a lot on the big stage. He believes he can win against anybody, any stadium, which is important for a young player like him.
