    Wimbledon 2024: Djokovic Resists Fearnley Test, Shelton Survives In Five-setter Again

    By IANS News July 04, 2024 • 23:56 PM View: 526
    Lexus ATP Head2Head: Multiple-time winner Novak Djokovic was not at his best on Thursday at Wimbledon, but he found a way to reach the men's singles third round after surviving a tough encounter against British wildcard Jacob Fearnley. The Serbian 24-time Grand Slam winner went through three hours of gruelling play to overcome a free-hitting display from a resilient Fearnley to earn a 6-3, 6-4, 5-7, 7-5 win.

    While Djokovic went through four sets, 14th seed Ben Shelton survived in five sets for the second consecutive match at Wimbledon, battling past qualifier Lloyd Harris 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-7(5), 6-3, 7-6(10-7) in a gripping three-hour, 14-minute encounter.

    In front of a capacity crowd on Centre Court - which was cheering loudly for Brit Fearnley - Djokovic was on course for a straight-sets win when he broke the 22-year-old's serve mid-way through the third set. However, Fearnley roared back to win the set, overpowering the second seed to gain a foothold.
