Wimbledon 2024 LIVE!
Novak Djokovic is in fourth-round action on Centre Court at Wimbledon this evening as he battles Holger Rune for a place in the men’s quarter-finals. The seven-time champion has been in impressive form at SW19 so far this fortnight, but had to battle back from dropping the first set against Australia’s world No47 Alexei Popyrin on Saturday before eventually finding his groove and winning in four.
He also dropped a set against the plucky British No13 Jacob Fearnley last week following an opening thrashing of Vit Kopriva as he insisted he had no lingering concerns over a knee injury that forced his withdrawal from the French Open last month and required surgery. Djokovic could now face a tough test against Rune, the 15th seed and Danish firebrand who usually brings the excitement to the court.
Djokovic has won three of his previous five matches against the current so-called ‘bad boy’ of men’s tennis, but this is the first ever meeting between the duo on grass. Follow Rune vs Djokovic live below with Standard Sport’s Dom Smith at Wimbledon!
