Roger Federer - 429 Serena Williams - 423 NOVAK DJOKOVIC - 400 🆕 Djokovic defeats Rublev 4-6 6-1 6-4 6-3 in his 400th Grand Slam Appearance - only the third player in HISTORY to do so! #Wimbledon | @Wimbledon
Novak Djokovic defeated Andrey Rublev and advanced to the semifinals of Wimbledon with a score of 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3.
The Serbian player overcame a tough match against the 17th seed Hubert Hurkacz, who despite showing a strong serve throughout the match, couldn't defeat Djokovic, who secured the victory in four sets.
Rublev achieved a victory against Kazakhstan's Aleksander Bublik, who found his best form on grass and took his opponent to a fifth set, but the Russian's dominance prevailed on this occasion.
The first set saw Rublev and Djokovic playing fairly evenly, with the Russian remaining composed as he saved three break points against him, while capitalizing on the only break opportunity he had in the ninth game. Rublev hit 11 winners and made 6 unforced errors, compared to Djokovic's 13 winners and 6 unforced errors, resulting in a 6-4 advantage for Rublev.
After taking the lead, Rublev couldn't maintain the momentum and started the second set with errors. In a matter of minutes, Djokovic secured two breaks in his favor and went up 5-0, ultimately equalizing the match with a convincing 6-1.
Just when it seemed like Djokovic had complete control of the match, Rublev once again showed character and had two break points in his favor in the second game, which he couldn't convert. In the fifth game, Djokovic seized his first opportunity and managed to hold onto it for the rest of the set. Rublev put up a fight when trailing 5-4 and saved four set points for Djokovic in a tense game, but the Serbian player ultimately prevailed to take the set.
In the fourth set, both players started strongly, holding their service games to love, but Rublev's lapses in concentration and Djokovic's efficiency allowed the Serbian to break early and establish the necessary advantage once again.
With Rublev serving at 3-5 down in the score, Djokovic capitalized on his second match point and closed the match with a score of 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-3. He will now face Italian star Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, who defeated Roman Safiullin in four sets.
