‘Racquet and a lot of heart’: Djokovic claims longest-ever Wimbledon quarter-final
Seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic has added another chapter to his legendary story, outlasting Felix Auger-Aliassime across five-plus hours on centre court to lock in a semi-final rematch with world No.1 Jannik Sinner.
At 39, Djokovic is 14 years Auger-Aliassime’s senior, but his hopes for a record-extending 25th grand slam trophy are alive after a pulsating 7-6 (12-10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (10-4) triumph.
The extraordinary contest broke the record as the longest quarter-final in tournament history at five hours and 15 minutes, and finished six minutes inside the tournament’s 11pm curfew.
Djokovic faced defeat serving at 4-4, 0-30 in the final set, but strung together the next four points to edge back in front, then played a magnificent super tie-breaker where he simply refused to miss as he finally wore Auger-Aliassime down.
