LONDON—A business-like Novak Djokovic threatened to short-change over 14,000 fans who had forked out 170 pounds ($234) for Wednesday’s Centre Court tickets when, after only 19 minutes of action, he stood on the cusp of bagging the first set 6–0.
Trailing 0–5 and 15–40 on serve, it seemed like Marton Fucsovics’s first foray into a Grand Slam quarterfinal would be short and not very sweet.
