Gone missing and last seen in the Wimbledon area - the multitude of chances that Denis Shapovalov had to stop Novak Djokovic reaching the men's singles final. He left behind Djokovic to soak up the admiration of the crowd, who had been treated to three compelling sets that ended 7-6 7-5 7-5 in the 34 year-old Serbian's favour. The Canadian's problem in claiming break points was also on show from the beginning. Instead, five break points went begging as the favourite somehow emerged intact at 3-3. By the time he had missed two more break opportunities at 1-0 in the third, ten break points had come and gone.
