Novak Djokovic has overcame an uncharacteristically unsteady start to avoid what would have been his earliest exit at Wimbledon since 2016.

If it is true that the real greats still prevail when they are nowhere near their best, then Novak Djokovic must be booked in for another record-breaking Wimbledon title here this weekend.
