Brazilian Thiago Seyboth Wild: Novak Djokovic ahead taking on Holger Rune in the Round of 16 of the Wimbledon on Monday at centre court suggested that there may be a "lot of fireworks on the court" in the match against a tricky Dane.

Rune has won two of the pair’s five ATP head-to-head meetings, and those two have been among the biggest victories of his young career. Djokovic is set to compete in the second week at Wimbledon for the 16th time, meanwhile this is just Rune’s 12th major.

"When it comes to playing on the court and competing, obviously we both have that fire,” Djokovic said. “I'm sure that on Monday we'll see a lot of fireworks on the court. He's a spectacular player, no doubt. He loves the big stage, loves playing on grass. I think he's a very, very tricky opponent. It's going to take my best tennis to win," said Djokovic in the pre-match conference.
