The match began with Alex de Minaur claiming the first set by 6-1. However, Novak Djokovic bounced back and won the next two sets with 6-4 each. The game became more dramatic when Alex took the lead 4-2 in the fourth set.

Novak Djokovic overcame an uncharacteristically unsteady start to avoid what would have been his earliest exit at Wimbledon since 2016, coming through for a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over 11th-seeded Alex de Minaur in the fourth round Monday.
