Novak Djokovic has overcame an uncharacteristically unsteady start to avoid what would have been his earliest exit at Wimbledon since 2016.

Djokovic came under serious pressure for the first time at this Wimbledon Championships, before solving the riddle to triumph 1-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 and book his place in the quarter-finals

In junior singles, world No.1 Emerson Jones celebrated her 17th birthday in style with a 6-2 6-1 triumph over Yoana Konstantinova, while fellow Australian Tahlia Kokkinis continued her dream Wimbledon debut, also winning in straight sets against local hopeful Daniella Britton.
