*Novak Djokovic 3-4 Hubert Hurkacz

A nice inside-out forehand finds a piece of the line from Hurkacz before his technique holds as he puts away a smash with the ball dropping out of the sky.

Back-to-back aces to finish things off and a stress-free hold. Those are invaluable against Djokovic.

Belarusian Victoria Azarenka was booed off the court by the Wimbledon crowd after her defeat to Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina.

Svitolina does not shake hands with Russian or Belarusian opponents due to the ongoing invasion of her home country, but there was a nod of acknowledgement from Azarenka after a thrilling three-set battle.

Svitolina, who was supported by the majority of the crowd during the match as she came from a set down to win the match tiebreaker, was hugely emotional after the victory - which was the first match between a Ukrainian player and a Russian or Belarusian at this year’s Championships.

But Azarenka, the former world No 1, was then booed off the court as Svitolina prepared for her post-match interview. Azarenka stopped as the booing began and looked incredulous, shaking her head at the reaction from the fans on Court No 1.

Novak Djokovic 3-3 Hubert Hurkacz*

We’re rattling along towards the business end of this set now. Djokovic not breaking a sweat on serve as a couple of aces enable a love hold.

If Iga Swiatek goes on to win Wimbledon 2023 and, make no mistake, Iga Swiatek has proved she is now capable of winning Wimbledon 2023, then this match may just be the turning point in her tournament and maybe in her entire relationship with grass-court tennis.

To say the world No 1 was on the brink of elimination would be the mother of all understatements. At a set and 6-5, 15-40 down facing two match points in a contest where everything had seemed to be conspiring for a Belinda Bencic victory, she was basically in the taxi on her way home.

Yet she dug deep, probably deeper than she ever has on a surface that she openly admits she is “still trying to figure out” to smack a forehand winner down the line and then a backhand winner cross-court.

True champions shine brightest in the darkest moments and Swiatek was luminescent as she turned the tide to somehow snatch a 6-7, 7-6, 6-3 victory in a three-hour thriller that earned her a standing ovation from an enthralled Centre Court crowd.

*Novak Djokovic 2-3 Hubert Hurkacz

Hurkacz is coming up with big serves in the key moments currently. After losing the first point of the game, he wins four on the spin for a hold to 15.

He came to the net off a big first serve in that final point and a couple of deft volleys showed his touch close-up.

Novak Djokovic 2-2 Hubert Hurkacz*

Bang! Ace out wide to start the game for Djokovic. Powerful groundstrokes then help him move to 40-0 and the hold is sealed when Hurkacz puts a return wide.

By the way, the roof is closed for this game but they did so while the post-match Iga Swiatek chat was happening and while the players were warming up, so we didn’t waste any time.

*Novak Djokovic 1-2 Hubert Hurkacz

Djokovic has a sniff on the Hurkacz serve at 40-30 but the Pole slides towards the net to dig out a drop shot and deftly dinks it over the net for a winner. An appreciative tap of the racket from Djokovic in response.

*Novak Djokovic 0-1 Hubert Hurkacz

The head-to-head record unsurprisingly favours Djokovic - he’s won all five contests that the pair have played, including one on grass.

Hurkacz is the 17th seed, so he’s no mug, but Djokovic is a different level. Regardless, it’s a good start from the pole as he holds serve to 15.

We’ll bring you any fallout, and Azarenka’s reaction, to that post-match booing when we have it. Attention now turns to world No 2 and 23-time grand slam champion Novak Djokovic, who has just walked on to Centre Court to face Hubert Hurkacz in their fourth-round match.

Djokovic must be getting a little fed up with these late-night starts to his matches. It feels unlikely we’ll get this one finished tonight given the infamous 11pm curfew. They’re about to get underway so let’s see how far they get
