Day 6: Novak no spring chicken, Coco closes in on Aryna rematch, Osaka out!

Novak Djokovic is one win away from a potential Olympic final rematch with Carlos Alcaraz after beating Tomas Machac on Night 6, but not without signs of fatigue.

Jessica Pegula is out in straight sets at the hands of Olga Danilovic, while Donna Vekic has downed Diana Shnaider in a three-hour epic — experts Simon Rea and Lou Pleming analyse the win and preview Day 7 action: Elina Svitolina v Jasmine Paolini and Ben Shelton v Lorenzo Musetti.
