Novak Djokovic showed again why he remains invincible at Wimbledon, young rival Carlos Alcaraz graced Centre Court for the first time and Andy Murray's hopes ended in Greek tragedy on another marathon day at the grasscourt slam on Friday.
Serbia's Djokovic, chasing records on multiple fronts, left it late to book his place in round four, beating Stan Wawrinka 6-3 6-1 7-6 just before Wimbledon's 11pm curfew.
For British fans, at least, day five fell flat with Murray unable to finish off fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas. Shortly before Murray's demise, Britain's 12th seed Cameron Norrie was bundled out in the second round by in-form American Christopher Eubanks -- a player who dabbles with commentating and who is making his Wimbledon debut.
Broady at least had the honour of being Britain's best-performing male player this year, although he did not take too much comfort from that fact. "I feel like I'm ready to play more matches, to play more great matches on that court," U.S. Open champion Alcaraz said after reaching the third round where he will play Chile's Nicolas Jarry on Saturday.RECORD TIEBREAK
