Not so easy! The crowd buzz as the young pretender leads Djokovic a merry dance through this game, sending him this way and that. Service held, Prizmic calls for the physio, though not for his heavily strapped right wrist. He lies down on a towel to have his upper thighs massaged. Feels slightly intrusive to have overhead cameras watching this massage but maybe that’s just me.
Glorious! After a long rally at 15-0, Prizmic kisses a cross-court drop shot to win the point. But Djokovic, whose blue trainers are embroidered with 24 to represent his 24 major titles – 25 would take him past Margaret Court – powers onwards.
