"With the introduction of Craig Bellamy, you see they've gone to another level, and you can see this is the type of coach that is forward-thinking, wants to be on the front foot.

Belgium pressed for an equaliser but, inspired by the home crowd's spellbinding, impromptu rendition of the Welsh national anthem, Wales clung on for a heroic victory."The belief after that result, you could feel it, not just with us players, but with the fans as well, and you could sense we were on the verge of qualifying," says Ledley.

"Fans play a massive part. I think at Cardiff City Stadium that night they carried us over that finish line."More than possible, this result made qualification probable.Even with their team three points clear at the top of the qualifying group, some Wales fans still needed some convincing.

After all, it had been 57 years since Wales had been to a major tournament and that barren period was littered with agonising tales of near misses.But this time was different.

"There was a real belief inside the changing room and the squad, and maybe for the fans it was more hope and desperation for us to do it," says Gunter.

"I think definitely after that win, everybody really believed."Djokovic tried a variety of tactics – baseline duels, drop-shots, serve and volley – but Sinner was virtually impossible to break down.

The constant pressure forced Djokovic into loose groundstrokes and badly-executed drop-shots in an opening set which swung Sinner's way when he broke serve in the fifth game.Djokovic's level improved in the early part of the second set, with two holds to love followed by scrutiny on Sinner's serve, but he could not find a way through.

An animated Djokovic roared at the crowd after saving a break point in the fifth game and looked up to the heavens in frustration when another poor return handed over the break in his next service game.You can never completely count Djokovic out, though. He managed to break back for 5-5 before losing serve again as Sinner sealed a two-set lead at the second opportunity.
