Novak Djokovic advanced to the Wimbledon semi-finals after a grueling five-set victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime. The match, the longest quarter-final in tournament history, concluded with a 7-6 (12-10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (5-7), 7-6 (10-4) scoreline. Djokovic battled through a calf issue and a mid-match dispute over the Centre Court roof closure to secure the win.

Djokovic will face defending champion Jannik Sinner in the semi-finals. Sinner overcame Jan-Lennard Struff in his quarter-final match, winning 7-5, 7-6 (4), 6-3. Sinner admitted to struggling early in the match against the veteran German.

Elsewhere, Coco Gauff reached her first Wimbledon semi-final by defeating Jessica Pegula 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Gauff overcame an early serving wobble to secure the comeback victory. Naomi Osaka's Wimbledon run ended in the quarter-finals with a 7-6 (4), 6-4 loss to Karolina Muchova, marking her first Grand Slam quarter-final appearance since 2021 without a title.
