Novak Djokovic dug deep to beat China’s Yibing Wu in four sets in a “really challenging” first round win at Wimbledon.
It looked as if Wu, the world No 102, may have been about to drag the 39-year-old Djokovic into a deciding set when he had 0-40 on the Serbian’s serve at 3-2, but the 24-time grand slam champion saved all six break points he faced in the fourth as he held on before breaking his opponent to close out the 6-4 5-7 6-4 6-4 win in three hours and 17 minutes.
