“My funniest match here”: Rain failure in Djokovic’s victory

Novak Djokovic dries Center Court.

Novak Djokovic (36, ATP 2), who could tie with record holder Roger Federer with an eighth Wimbledon win, fell behind early with a break against Argentine sand specialist Pedro Cachin (28, ATP 68), but won easily with 6:3 , 6:3, 7:6 (7:4) through.

The history of the game was more like an hour and a half rain stoppage – despite the lockable roof over Center Court. It’s just a shame those responsible let the cover be pulled over the pitch way too late. Djokovic, drying the wet lawn himself with a towel, took the disturbance with a smile. “That was probably my funniest match here,” the “Djoker” grinned.

Comfortable

With the roof open or closed, the best placed Iga Swiatek (22, WTA 1) was in a hurry. The Pole, who never got further than the round of 16 at Wimbledon, defeated the Chinese Zhu Lin (29, WTA 34) 6: 3, 6: 1 in the first round. (sda/cmu)
