Defending champion Novak Djokovic trailed big-serving American Sam Querrey by two sets to love when rain stopped play at Wimbledon.
Querrey, the 6ft 6in world number 28, led the world number one 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 in their third-round match.
Persistent rain then saw the match postponed until Saturday.
Djokovic has not lost in the third round of a Grand Slam since 2009, and is trying to become only the second man to win five successive major titles.
The 29-year-old Serb is on course to win the first calendar-year Grand Slam in men's tennis since Rod Laver in 1969.
He trailed South Africa's Kevin Anderson by two sets in last year's fourth round before fighting back to two sets all before darkness stopped play.
Djokovic would win the final set when play resumed the next day and go on to win his third Wimbledon title.
