The 25-year-old Rijthoven is the biggest underdog in this year’s Wimbledon Championships. He had never won a senior ATP Tour-level match, and his only appearance was a first-round loss at the ATP 250 event in Winston Salem in 2016.

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?
