This is why people love del Potro:
Del Potro: "I feel alive"
16:04
It's an amazing sensation for me at the moment. I beat one of the guys who's playing great tennis at the moment. I couldn't expect this victory today but I think I played much better afer the first set and I really enjoyed the crowd. I was so happy on court. After my third surgery I have been trying to play tennis again it's like my second or third career in my short life. I was really sad at home for the last two years, now I am enjoying all these things. And my hands shaking is a great sensation for me. I feel alive. I like to share moments with the crowd. They support me on every single point and that's why I keep fighting in every single set. I couldn't expect to be in the third round of Wimbledon I'm very excited to go far in the tournament.

It's probably best for the tournament if Nick goes through. Dustin has had some shock wins, but not enough consistency. It will be interesting either way.

Djokovic in some trouble v. Querrey. Lost the first in TB, and got blown out in the 2nd. Seems to have back/neck trouble? Took a couple of spills earlier. Fed up a break in the first. And Kyrgios won in 4.

Sam was serving excellently well. Djokovic not so much even into his 2nd serve. But 1st serve pct. v. high. Sam was great in the TB. Novak leveled it, but Querrey got him. Novak took a tumble, or maybe 2. In the 2nd set, Djoker looked really flat and uninterested. Stretching his neck and back a bit. Not engaging his box. It was kind of weird. He was way off, and Querrey was playing great. The rain came and Djokovic didn't even go to the locker room, according to the commentators. Rushed off the court and got straight into a car. Bad day at the office? Querrey discomfited him, but he was way off in the 2nd. Probably will regroup overnight. It will be interesting to see if Sam can bring the same game tomorrow, or if Djokovic is suffering at all.

I thought they had two covered courts, which I assumed is where Novak was playing. I guess they only have one, but it seems that earlier in the tournament when the rains came they had two matches going on at the same time.

Court 1 is getting a roof by 2019, apparently. But doesn't have one, now. Yes, today I thought they restarted the Venus match when Kyrgios was still stopped, so I don't know why that was. Djokovic caught a break, I would say, that he wasn't on Centre Court today. That roof was closed already, so there would have been no stoppage.

Sam's going to have to channel his inner Yoda.Djokovic is lucky that the game was suspended. I can imagine that Querrey's head would be boiling all night now.

Thanks, it's been weird. The commentators were talking about because the rain was odd. There was stoppage, but then some on some other courts play resumed, so I was so confused. I thought there were two courts based. I noticed that too. I was looking online and some courts stopped, but others didn't. That's why I was shocked that Novak's match was suspended.
Hopefully, Novak will come back refreshed and play better. Not a good thing for someone so valuable to the tournament to go out so early.
