THE PREDICTION

World number one Novak Djokovic won the longest three-set match of his career on Friday, overcoming Alejandro Davidovich Fokina via two tiebreaks before a more straightforward third. The 36-year-old is yet to drop a set this fortnight but he has played four tiebreaks so far as he continues to struggle with a series of debilitating minor injuries. 27-year-old Juan Pablo Varillas will set a new career-high ATP world ranking of 60th after reaching the second week of a Grand Slam for the first time. The Peruvian has a remarkable record at this level, with his victory over Hubert Hurkacz on Friday his fifth five-set match out of five played at this level since his debut here last summer. It is a record that is likely to be broken now by Djokovic, who will be eager to be as efficient as possible after so much effort in his third round. Back Djokovic to win outright inside an accumulator or in three sets.
