The magical run of Tim van Rijthoven is over but it required the full powers of Novak Djokovic’s steely edge to break the spell PBA
Djokovic had to dig deep to overcome the challenge of Van Rijthoven PBA
Van Rijthoven won just his first match on the ATP Tour last month before going on to defeat top-10 players in Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev in the same tournament at s-Hertogenbosch PBA
“Come on Tim,” is a popular shout around Wimbledon during most matches at SW19 but the Centre Court crowd found a new hero in Van Rijthoven PBA
Djokovic, unflinching and too clinical, then broke Van Rijthoven with a gorgeous backhand down the line to take the opening set PBA
After taking the second set to level the match under the lights, the 25-year-old wildcard threatened what would have been one of the biggest shocks in Centre Court’s 100-year history PBA
For a moment it looked as if the six-time Wimbledon champion would be the latest to be swept aside by his wave but Djokovic backed down on his relentless grit to take a 6-1 4-6 6-1 6-2 win in over two and a half hours PBA
It captured one of the unlikeliest titles in tennis history and his ranking jumped from 205 to just outside the top 100 as he landed a deserved wildcard for Wimbledon, where the run continued and stretched to eight victories on grass PBA
Van Rijthoven had no impact on the sport to speak of until four weeks ago, when he won his first match on the professional tour and followed it up by beating all before him on grass PBA
After testing Djokovic with a dipping forehand on the run at 4-2, on break point his one-handed backhand broke down and consecutive misses saw Djokovic emerge unscatched PBA
Djokovic has not lost a match at Wimbledon since 2017 but few since have given him as much of a scare as an opponent who until last month was ranked 205th in the world PBA
Djokovic’s serve got him out of trouble when Van Rijthoven had two opportunities to level PBA

Djokovic had to summon the best of his determined defensive game to put away a player whose last defeat was against the World No 375 Otto Virtanen in qualifying for the Surbiton Open, and it was not until 10:40pm that his task was complete PBA
By then, most of the fraught tension had subsided but it remained a gripping encounter until the end PBA
Bolstered by an emphatic serve, Van Rijthoven had the weapons and firepower an upset of this scale demands but Djokovic pressured and squeezed his opponent with a relentless return game and faultless hitting from the baseline to run away with the third set and then the match PBA
Djokovic breaking on his first service game was an ominous start but the Dutchman appeared to loosen up after falling behind PBA
There was something special unfolding as the Dutchman’s forehand began to find its mark following an inaccurate start PBA
