Novak Djokovic survived a tough test at Wimbledon, coming from two sets to love up to beat France's Arthur Rinderknech in four sets. The defending champion looked in control early, but the 25th seed fought back to take the third set 6-1 before Djokovic regained his composure to close out the match. Elsewhere, Naomi Osaka advanced to the fourth round with a straight-sets win over Australia's Daria Kasatkina. The four-time Grand Slam winner also celebrated her daughter's birthday after the match. Yannick Sinner, the men's defending champion, also progressed, beating American Jensen Brooksby in straight sets. The match featured one of the points of the tournament. In the men's doubles, British champions Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool won their match to reach the third round. The schedule for the Williams sisters' doubles match remains uncertain. Serena Williams, a 23-time Grand Slam champion, has been given extra time to recover from a knee injury sustained in her singles match earlier this week. The women's doubles first round was expected to finish today, but organisers have delayed the Williams match.
