Novak Djokovic, facing an opponent who considered him his idol, advanced to his fourteenth Wimbledon semi-final on Wednesday, breaking the tie with Roger Federer and setting a new record for the most men’s semi-finals in the history of the tournament.<\/p>\n
Flavio Cobolli, ranked 22nd, was only 3 years old when 38-year-old Djokovic debuted in the main draw at Wimbledon two decades ago. Cobolli had never reached the second week of a Grand Slam tournament before this championship.<\/p>\n
Djokovic, after an intense battle that culminated in sets of 6-7 (6), 6-2, 7-5, 6-4, will play his 52nd semifinal in a Grand Slam tournament, equaling Chris Evert as the person with the most semifinals in the Open era, both in men’s and women’s.<\/p>\n
This is the seventh consecutive time that Djokovic has reached the Wimbledon semi-finals, equalling the longest streak since 1968, set by Roger Federer (2003-09).<\/p>\n
Djokovic has won Wimbledon seven times and is now looking to equal Federer’s record of eight titles at the All England Club.<\/p>\n
Djokovic’s next obstacle, who is seeking his third consecutive appearance in the final (lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the last two editions), will be Jannik Sinner, number 1 in the world. Djokovic defeated Sinner in the 2023 semi-finals at the All England Club, but Sinner has won their last four encounters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
