Djokovic: The deeper it is, the harder it is to be defeated
Leaving back two overwhelming victories against Dan Evans and Miomir Kecmanovic, Djokovic entered the fourth round with a completely different test – the speed, youth and persistent fighting style of Alex De Minaur. The first set, Djokovic was completely inferior and showed off. He was even led 1-4 and faced the break point in the fourth set-a time when many people thought of the script bad. But that was the time when Djokovic's bravery said.

COBOLLI – Interesting phenomenon but is there enough?
In contrast to an experienced and title Djokovic, Flavio Cobolli is a new breeze that is writing his own fairy tale at Wimbledon this year.
Just a few months ago, Cobolli was still struggling with consecutive defeats, not winning a match in the main round of ATP from the beginning of the season. But from Bucharest, where he had the first victory and then won the first title, the career of the Italian tennis player turned to another page. Hamburg brings the biggest title of his career, and now he has reached the quarterfinals of the first Grand Slam.
Cobolli is definitely worthy of all the attention he is receiving. But also frankly acknowledged: His journey to the quarterfinals this year is quite “smooth sailing”, when he has not had to meet a top player. And the true challenge – even the harshest in his career – waiting for him ahead: Novak Djokovic.
The first time he met the king, will the new soldier have a sharp enough?
During the only meeting before, Djokovic defeated Cobolli. The Italian player owns an active attack style, the ability to finish from the end of the yard and a stable serve – enough to make it difficult for any opponent. But those things only really promote if the opponent plays under strength. And Djokovic – at Grand Slam, especially at Wimbledon – often does not give anyone the opportunity.
Statistics are also against Cobolli: he has never won a top 10 player in the complete matches, with a record of 0-11, including 0-4 at Grand Slam-all of which are lost.
