Wimbledon: for Djokovic, Hubert Hurkacz will be “a difficult challenge to meet”

All is well for the master of the place who signed against Stan Wawrinka a 31st consecutive success in his garden at Wimbledon. Hubert Hukacz stands up to him in the round of 16 on Sunday. An opponent against whom he has never lost in five meetings but against whom he had given up a set in the second round in 2019 at Church Road: “It was a close match because he serves very powerfully and very well. It covers the ground very well. He has very long arms, he covers the net well on the fly. He is also comfortable in the defensive aspect from the baseline. He is a very complete player, he is very comfortable on grass. He beat Federer here a few years ago (2021). I don’t see too many shortcomings in his game, so I know this will definitely be the toughest challenge for me since the start of the tournament. »
