Wimbledon is set for another late night on Centre Court as Novak Djokovic faces his toughest test of the tournament in the fourth round against Hubert Hurkacz. Djokovic has had an easy time of it so far in the defence of his Wimbledon title, not dropping a single set in his first three matches.
But Hurkacz is expected to provide a much tougher test for the No 2 seed and Djokovic already knows what to expect having faced the Pole at Wimbledon back in 2019. He said: “It was a close match because he serves extremely powerful and good. He covers the court very well. He has very long arms.
“When he comes to the net, he has a very good feeling at the net. He closes the net very well. He plays a lot of doubles as well. He’s had some very good success in doubles. He’s comfortable also to play from the back of the court defending. For a very tall guy he defends well, even slides. He comes in and covers the net very well.
“Just overall very complete player. I don’t see too many holes in his game really. So I know that’s going to definitely be the toughest challenge for me of the tournament so far. He didn’t drop a set so far in the tournament. I saw how he was playing. He’s very comfortable playing on grass. He beat Federer here some years ago. He’s a player that doesn’t mind playing on a big stadium.”
