With this result, Novak Djokovic officially surpassed Roger Federer to become the male tennis player with the most appearances in the semi-finals in the history of the tournament. He also became the second oldest tennis player to reach the semi-finals of this grass court, only after Ken Rosewall.
In the quarterfinals, Djokovic came from behind to defeat Flavio Cobolli 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4. This victory also helped the 38-year-old veteran advance to his 52nd Grand Slam semi-final, equaling the record with Chris Evert.

Djokovic's next semi-final opponent is Jannik Sinner - the current world number 1, who has beaten him in his last 4 matches, including the Roland Garros semi-final. However, Djokovic also beat Sinner in both their encounters at Wimbledon in 2022 and 2023.
"Hopefully I'm physically fit enough to compete with him, even in five sets. To beat Jannik now, I'll have to show the best version of myself. Now, the only thing I'm thinking about is being physically and mentally ready to fight him for as long as possible" - Nole emphasized.
In the other semi-final, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will meet American Taylor Fritz. These two matches will take place today, July 11.
