For what it's worth, my prediction is Pella v Bautista Agut will go to five sets, and thus will be the match of the day.

Djokovic 1-0 Goffin*

 

A hold for the number 1 seed, but no cakewalk as Goffin pushes the Serb to deuce. 

 

He emerges unscathed though, over to Goffin.

ANOTHER BREAK POINT SAVED!
 

Goffin is on the charge when the score is deuce, but can't find any momentum at advantage - Djokovic this time saving break point no. 2 with a big serve down the T.

Djokovic 2-1 Goffin*

 

Goffin nets two groundstrokes, one on the forehand side and one on the backhand side, and Djokovic clings onto his own serve.

 

Early signs are promising for the world number 23.

2019-07-10T12:30:11.073Z

*Djokovic 2-2 Goffin

Djokovic 3-2 Goffin*

 

Huge chance for Goffin at 30-30, but he positions himself too close to the net and that's exactly where his volley goes. 

 

Djokovic finds his serve to hold. 

• Kieran Jackson
• 10 July 2019 13:31

2019-07-10T12:39:17.490Z

*Djokovic 3-3 Goffin

 

Goffin comes through a tricky situation at 30-30, with an ace and a backhand pass. 

 

Three apiece in the first.
