Defending champion Novak Djokovic holds a two-set lead over Hubert Hurkacz as their fourth-round clash gets suspended due to the Wimbledon curfew.
LONDON, UK – Novak Djokovic grabbed a two-set lead in his fourth-round match against Hubert Hurkacz but only after withstanding a ferocious barrage of aces from the Pole before play was suspended at Wimbledon on Sunday, July 9 .
Hurkacz rocketed down 23 aces including one clocked at 141mph – the fastest serve of the tournament so far. But the pressure of trying to put Djokovic away was too much. Djokovic won both his points on serve to close the gap and then returned a Hurkacz howitzer and the Pole could only roll a forehand into the net.With the clock ticking towards Wimbledon’s 11 pm curfew, Djokovic hunted the break of serve in the second set that might have cracked Hurkacz’s resistance but every time he had a sniff of a break, an ace flew past him.
