The Dutch earned a last-minute wildcard to Wimbledon, after a brilliant show at the Libema Open last month. The 25-year-old has made full use of the opportunity he has got. He defeated some tough opponents like 15th seed Reilly Opelka and 22nd seed Nikoloz Basilashvili on his way to the round of 16. Although his next opponent is Djokovic, with the performance he has given recently, the young Dutch cannot be taken lightly.
Can Djokovic overcome the challenge of Rijthoven and move further in the tournament?
