In the final set Haas was making fewer errors and his clubbing forehand was giving Djokovic trouble. Until the Serb broke his serve to give Djokovic a 4-2 lead but, cheered by the Centre Court crowd, Haas grabbed a break back, at 5-3, denying Djokovic a seamless exit. He then fended off a break point to level the set and the pair wrestled to a tie-break. Haas began the stronger but there was always Djokovic's resilience. At 7-4 and after just over two hours Haas's hopes were extinguished. Djokovic was through the quarter-finals in straight sets 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Guardian
