Novak Djokovic has had a heck of a (vomity) time getting through his last two matches.

But he made it. And he met feisty Belgian Zizou Bergs, who found a way to win against big-serving Canadian Gabriel Diallo in the previous round. In the end, though, the Djokovic factor seemed a little too much for the young Belgian in a tight match.

Meanwhile, Holger Rune had it against Monegasque qualifier Valentin Vacherot. And then … he didn’t. A tough year for the Dane.

Just two singles matches, even with four more days to go in another endless Masters 1000.
