'I played tennis against Novak Djokovic and now I understand what he does to opponents'

Novak Djokovic's long unbeaten run at Wimbledon continued on Tuesday, with the Serbian surviving an early scare to win in four sets against Andrey Rublev.

Before the meeting, Djokovic was coming off four successive singles crowns at SW19. His exit in 2017 came when he was forced to stop early due to injury, which means you have to go back to 2016 for the last time he lost three sets against one opponent at the London grand slam.

If you watched Carlos Alcaraz's struggles at the French Open, you'd have seen how tough it is to play against the Serbian star. And if that wasn't enough Mirror Sport got a feel for just what it takes to stay in a rally with him for just a matter of seconds.
