Novak Djokovic reached an eighth straight Wimbledon semifinal after grinding down Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime 7-6(10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-6(10-4) in an epic battle on Tuesday to set up a showdown with reigning champion Jannik Sinner.
Having surpassed Roger Federer for most match victories at the All England Club with his 106th win in the last round, the 39-year-old eclipsed the Swiss again by becoming the first man to reach the last four eight straight times.
Djokovic got there by coming through the longest quarterfinal in Wimbledon history, at five hours and 15 minutes, with a gutsy display against a determined opponent who proved hard to break down for much of the contest.
“I won with a racket and a lot of heart,” Djokovic said.
“I guess it’s the management of the nerves and the extreme tension you feel in these kinds of matches. Towards the end, it was anybody’s game. The scoreline was even all the way through. It was anybody’s game in the super tiebreak in the fifth.
“What can I say? I mean, these are kinds of moments that I still play tennis for. I wish it was the final, you know, so I don’t need to worry about how the body will feel tomorrow. But yeah… I’m happy that I won.”
ANOTHER BLOCKBUSTER CLASH WITH SINNER
Djokovic’s hunt for an eighth crown to match retired rival Federer and a 25th major trophy to move past Australian Margaret Court will continue when he meets Sinner in what promises to be another blockbuster chapter in their rivalry.

“It’s just another semifinal for me. I’m going to look at the numbers and everything when I finish my career,” he said.
“Right now, it’s all business. I still have to recover. I’m still in the tournament, and I have the best player in the world in a few days.”
Djokovic, the seventh seed, chuckled after several missed chances in a long opening-set tiebreak, and had the last laugh when Auger-Aliassime blasted a volley long to surrender a set that he should have comfortably won.
A double fault from Djokovic gifted Auger-Aliassime a break to go up 5-3 in the next set and the Canadian held his nerve and serve in the next game to draw level in the contest, before the Centre Court roof was closed at around 7.40 p.m. local time.
DJOKOVIC COMPOSED AFTER COMPLAINTS
The move prompted complaints from Djokovic, but he composed himself as the third set got underway and produced cleaner ball-striking to finally break Auger-Aliassime in the sixth game and then tighten his grip on the match.
Auger-Aliassime lost his opening service game in the fourth set and let his frustrations boil over when he whacked his chair with his racket, but put up a brave display and got back on level terms via the tiebreak to force a decider.
There was no separating the pair for 12 games of the final set until Djokovic drew on his experience in the match tiebreak to finally overcome Auger-Aliassime and soak up the deafening applause from a thoroughly-entertained crowd.
“You know, I was telling my kids to go to sleep after the fourth set but they didn’t want to listen,” Djokovic added.
“I’m glad they stayed up, because it was, honestly, one of the best matches I was part of on this court, in my career.”

Ukrainian 12th seed Marta Kostyuk booked her place in a maiden Wimbledon quarterfinal on Monday, continuing her excellent run of form with a straight-sets win over qualifier Ashlyn Krueger.
Kostyuk, who enjoyed her best performance at a Grand Slam by reaching the French Open semifinals last month, overturned a 4-2 deficit in the second set to win 6-4, 6-4.
She will next face former finalist Jasmine Paolini of Italy for a last-four place.
Belgium’s Elise Mertens reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time with a 6-4, 6-4 win against Czech 21st seed Marie Bouzkova on Monday.
Mertens, seeded 25th, followed her shock third round win over second seed Elena Rybakina with another commanding performance at the grass-court Grand Slam.
She is finally into the last eight at the All England Club at the ninth attempt.
The 30-year-old’s only Grand Slam semifinal appearance came at the 2018 Australian Open.
Mertens, a two-time Wimbledon doubles winner, faces Czech ninth seed Linda Noskova or 2025 Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the quarterfinals.
Jasmine Paolini reached her first Grand Slam quarter-final for two years, edging out rising Filipina star Alexandra Eala in a tense last 16 match at Wimbledon on Monday.
Italian 13th seed Paolini ended the run of Iga Swiatek’s conqueror Eala with a gritty 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 victory on Centre Court.
“I feel so lucky to have this opportunity and so lucky to get the win,” said Paolini, before addressing the watching Roger Federer in the royal box.
“I just needed to stay focused and don’t think about him (Federer) being here… It’s an amazing feeling to be here right now with the win.”
Paolini will face Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine in her first major quarterfinal since reaching the Wimbledon final in 2024, when she lost to Barbora Krejcikova in three sets.
The Italian was also the French Open runner-up to Swiatek in 2024.
She has struggled for most of this season but has rediscovered her form at the All England Club since losing the opening set of her first-round match 6-0.
“After the first set in the first round I was like ‘Okay, it can only go better’… point by point, game by game, I was feeling better,” Paolini added.
The 21-year-old Eala had become the first woman from the Philippines to reach the third and fourth rounds of a Slam, but despite threatening a comeback in the second set, could not get the better of the wily Paolini.
The 30-year-old Paolini clinched a nip-and-tuck opening set with a break, having failed to serve it out in the previous game.
After the players traded early breaks in the second set, 29th seed Eala broke for a 4-3 lead and then held from 0-40 down in the next game.
The left-hander managed to close it out to force a decider.
The vital moment of a nervy third set came when Paolini broke in the eighth game, before serving it out confidently despite falling 0-30 down.
Czech ninth seed Linda Noskova saw off Madison Keys in straight sets on Monday to reach the Wimbledon last eight for the first time.
The 21-year-old, whose only previous Grand Slam quarter-final came at the 2024 Australian Open, knocked out American 26th seed Keys with a 6-4, 7-6 (7/2) victory.
Noskova will take on Belgian Elise Mertens for a semifinal place.

Jack Draper became the second leading British player to withdraw from Wimbledon as the former US Open semi-finalist followed Emma Raducanu out of the tournament.
Draper has suffered a recurrence of an arm injury and will not be able to face American sixth seed Taylor Fritz on Centre Court on Tuesday.
It is the latest fitness setback for the former world number four, who has played only a handful of tournaments this year.
Coached by former Grand Slam champion Andy Murray, the 24-year-old reached the semi-finals of the Wimbledon warm-up event at Eastbourne last week in his first tournament since April.

“There have been a lot of painful moments in the last 12 months but this one is definitely the absolute worst as there is no greater honour for a British player than playing at Wimbledon,” Draper said.
Former US Open champion Raducanu pulled out late on Sunday after scans showed she had suffered a stress fracture in her right leg.
The 23-year-old, seeded 30th, was due to start her campaign on Monday against Croatia’s Antonia Ruzic.
