Novak Djokovic edged 3rd seed Felix Auger‑Aliassime in a 5‑hour marathon that went to a fifth‑set tie‑break, securing a place in the Wimbledon semi‑finals. The 7‑time champion displayed exceptional stamina, outlasting his opponent in an encounter that pushed the court into the late hours.

The next test for Djokovic is a clash with world number one Jannik Sinner, a match that will probe the Serbian’s leg strength after the grueling breve. Meanwhile, labelled as a top‑ten player, Sinner has yet to reach his peak form at this venue.

Other storylines include Alexander Zverev’s first Wimbledon quarter‑final berth, though his record against Taylor Fritz remains weak. In the women’s draw, Naomi Osaka fell to Karolina Muchova, who could become the third Czech woman in four years to reach the final. Coco Gauff also advanced, defeating Jessica Pegula in three sets to keep her campaign alive.

These results reshape the tournament’s landscape, positioning Djokovic for a high‑stakes semi and spotlighting Sinner, Zverev, and Muchova as key contenders for the title.
