Djokovic 3-4 Goffin*
A mishit and then Djokovic goes wide with a forehand as he tries to pass the Belgian.
It was coming, but there were doubts if it was going to come.
*Djokovic 3-3 Goffin
Break point three for Goffin.

David Goffin is so fast he almost over runs it. He gets there in plenty of time.
You don't want to be hitting a whole lot of drop shots against him, as quick as he is.
*Djokovic 3-3 Goffin
30-0.
Tennis legend Rod Laver then gives the 'Laver Nod of Approval' as Goffin produces a looping topspin forehand winner.
30-15.
30s each.
*Djokovic 3-3 Goffin
Both players are stretched to their physical limits. Goffin sprints to produce a brilliant angled return but Djokovic somehow delivers a winner with grazes the baseline.
Incredible athleticism.
All that for 15-0.
Djokjovic does superbly well to get to Goffin's cross-court drop-shot and find a winner

I was surprised Djokovic left that volley when he had an open court - and he can't believe he did either. "Why did I do that?!"
*Djokovic 3-3 Goffin
Goffin just about holds after Djokovic leaves a one-handed backhand which he thinks is going long.
Guess what?
It landed just inside the baseline.
Djokovic's face!!
Djokovic 3-2 Goffin*
Goffin takes the express service from Brussels to Lyon but his train breaks down in Paris.
In other words an attempt at a forehand winner down the line hits the net.

Debbie Blackman: How many of us want a @rogerfederer vs @RafaelNadal semi final
Sulaimon Adelekan: Can we have an upset so we don't have the Big 3 of Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in the semis. I don't think so.
Djokovic 3-2 Goffin*
What a stunning shot on the run from Djoko as the ball dips over the cord leaving Goffin with a difficult volley he cannot return.
The number one seed holds.
Two tests on his serve so far, but he has come through both.
Pella 2-3 Bautista Agut*
Bautista Agut has come out flying on Court One.
After twice hitting long on his previous service game, handing Pella the chance to break back, Bautista Agut rallies to take the game and then races into a love-40 lead on the Argentine's serve.
Unshaken, a steely Pella produces two aces in a crucial comeback to stay within touching distance in the opening set.

This time Djokovic controls the rally, swinging Goffin about on the end of a plumb line before scoring the winner.
The Belgian equalises and then moves ahead.
15-30.

Djokovic is going to get a lot more balls back than almost anyone else you play, you have to presume that ball is coming back and do something about it. So far Goffin's forehand has been the superior of the two players.

Goffin holds to love as Djoko goes long on a second serve.

The first lengthy rally, which Goffin controlled, finishes with a deft slice from the Belgian that drops dead before Djokovic can get his racquet to the ball.
Beautiful.
15-0.

It's disappointing for David Goffin not to capitalise.
Novak Djokovic has a lot of his old coaching team back and it's great to see them. It's a great opportunity for him.

Image source, BBC SportI've just had a chat with Australia cricketer Ellyse Perry, who is making the most of her time in England for the women's Ashes by getting Centre Court tickets today.
"I've never been to Wimbledon before but there is such an exciting day ahead," she tells me.
"I'm most looking forward to watching Roger Federer play. I love the way that he carries himself, combined with just how tremendous he is at tennis.
"He just makes for the most complete and incredible athlete. He's incredibly inspirational so it will be really nice to see him play in real life."
