Djokovic Advances to 16th Wimbledon Quarterfinals with Comeback Win

Novak Djokovic overcame a challenging start to defeat Alex De Minaur 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 and reach his 16th Wimbledon quarter-final. Despite losing the first set quickly and facing tough conditions with strong winds, Djokovic managed to reset himself and gain momentum, ultimately winning five consecutive games in the fourth set to clinch the match. The 38-year-old Serbian, watched by Roger Federer, extended his record for the most grand slam quarter-final appearances in the Open Era to 63 and notched his 101st Wimbledon match win. De Minaur, known for his speed and defensive skills, posed a significant challenge, especially on grass where the ball bounces low, but Djokovic's experience and resilience prevailed. Djokovic will face Italian Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-finals, with potential tougher matches ahead including a possible semifinal against Jannik Sinner. This victory brings Djokovic closer to matching Federer's record number of Wimbledon titles.
