Djokovic Reaches Wimbledon Semifinals for the Fourteenth Time, Historic Record
Novak Djokovic has secured his place in the Wimbledon semi-finals for the fourteenth time, setting a new record in the men’s category. The Serbian tennis player defeated Flavio Cobolli in a match that ended with scores of 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4. With this victory, Djokovic will face the world number one, Jannik Sinner, in the next phase of the tournament. Djokovic, 38 years old, once again demonstrated his exceptional performance on the court, despite an “uncomfortable” fall in the last game. This achievement allows him to break the tie with Roger Federer and establish himself as the player with the most appearances in men’s semifinals in Wimbledon history. Cobolli, 23, who has admired Djokovic since childhood, had never reached the second week of a Grand Slam tournament before this Wimbledon. Djokovic, for his part, will add his 52nd semifinal in a Grand Slam tournament, equaling Chris Evert as the players with the most semifinals in the Open era.During the match, Djokovic faced some challenges, losing the first set after being up 5-3 and suffering a fall in the last game. However, he recovered quickly to secure the victory. Djokovic will seek his seventh consecutive final at the All England Club and is close to equaling Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles. His next challenge will be Sinner, who has beaten him in their last four encounters. The other men’s semi-final match will be between Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz.“Wimbledon was, is and always will be the most special tournament we have in our sport, at least in my opinion and I think in the opinion of many players. It means the world to me that I can still play in the final stages at 38 years old,” Djokovic declared.
