Djokovic outlasts Auger-Aliassime after more than 5 hours to reach Wimbledon
semifinals at age 39
By ANDREW DAMPF and KEN MAGUIRE
AP Sports Writers
LONDON (AP) --- Novak Djokovic was pushed to five sets by Felix Auger-Aliassime
before the seven-time Wimbledon champion prevailed 7-6 (10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (4),
7-6 (4) after more than five hours on Tuesday to set up a semifinal against
defending champion Jannik Sinner.
Sinner beat Djokovic in straight sets in last year's Wimbledon semifinals; and
Djokovic outlasted the Italian over five sets in the last four of this year's
Australian Open.
The 39-year-old Djokovic continues to break records as he chases a 25th Grand
Slam title. He's reached a record-setting eighth consecutive Wimbledon final
four --- moving him one ahead of Roger Federer for most consecutive men's
singles semifinal appearances at the grass-court tournament.
