Djokovic Advances to Wimbledon Semi-Finals After Record-Breaking Five-Hour Quarter-Final Against Auger-Aliassime

· 2 hours ago

Novak Djokovic reached the Wimbledon semi-finals with a gruelling five-set victory over Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime, completing a five-hour-and-15-minute contest on Centre Court. The marathon quarter-final set a new record as the longest in the tournament's history, emphasising the demanding conditions Djokovic has navigated en route to the last four.

At 39 years old, Djokovic's triumph over his 25-year-old opponent underscores his continued dominance at an age when most top players have stepped away from professional competition. The win moves the 24-time Grand Slam champion one title closer to surpassing the all-time record for major championships, with the semi-final stage offering another platform to pursue that historic milestone.

  • Djokovic defeated Auger-Aliassime in the longest quarter-final in Wimbledon history, lasting 5 hours 15 minutes
  • The 39-year-old Swiss champion proved his competitive edge against a 25-year-old challenger to secure a semi-final berth
  • Victory brings Djokovic within one major of the all-time Grand Slam record, with 24 titles already claimed
