Novak Djokovic saves itself from a sensational debacle to the round of XNUMX of Wimbledon and postpones the question of the match against the South African Kevin Anderson at 14 today, Italian time. We return to field number 1 on the result of 2-2. Yesterday's match was suspended at 21pm London time due to darkness. The alternative would have been to transfer the match to the centre-back but the organization preferred to postpone the epilogue of this wonderful match until today.
The first two sets were very tight with Anderson putting his batting skills to good use by hitting 22 aces. Thanks to this extra weapon, the South African got the better of the first two sets at the tie break, both ending up 8-6. Then the momentum of the match suddenly changed with Djokovic who wins the third set 6-1. The fourth set offers excitement only in the first three games, with very long exchanges. In the third game Djokovic gets the decisive break which brings the match to even two. Who benefits from last night's stop? Maybe to both. Djokovic knows he has to shift gears to get success over Anderson. The South African, in oxygen debt after the first two exceptional sets, recharges his batteries in view of the last battle this afternoon.
