For an hour and half, the Centre Court crowd could not quite believe what they were seeing as the 20-year-old Italian had the champion on the run.
For the first two sets, he was by far the better player but then Djokovic did what he always does (Tim Van Rijthoven, his previous opponent, called it “his Novak thing”) and he started again.
