Alex De Minaur on Novak Djokovic
“I don’t think you need to talk too much about Novak here at Wimbledon. He’s obviously achieved greatness many, many years. So he’s going to be a tough battle.
“But the type of battles that I want to be playing. Those are the challenges that I want to take advantage of and go out there and show what I can do.
“I feel like Novak is a lot more constant and solid with his level throughout the whole match.”
De Minaur takes on Djokovic in the quarter-finals on Wednesday…

Novak Djokovic hits out at ‘disrespectful’ Wimbledon crowd with theory on Holger Rune chants
The Serbian was repeatedly showered with cries of “Rune,” which he maintained were supposed to serve as boos in a spicy atmosphere at SW19.
And Djokovic, a seven-time champion at Wimbledon, took aim at those cheering Rune and explained why he thought it was “disrespectful”.
“To all the fans that have respect and have stayed here tonight, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it,” Djokovic said.

Taylor Fritz banishes Centre Court ghosts with victory over Alexander Zverev
American 13th seed Fritz sealed his place in the Wimbledon quarter-finals with an epic 4-6 6-7 (4) 6-4 7-6 (3) 6-3 victory in three hours and 29 minutes.
The last time Fritz played on Centre Court, in 2022, he came out on the wrong side of a five-set quarter-final against Rafael Nadal.
It was a defeat that left Fritz in tears for weeks afterwards, but it also turned out to be Nadal’s last appearance in SW19, as such was the intensity of the match the Spaniard aggravated an injury which forced him to withdraw from the semi-final.

Wimbledon, watch out: You just made Novak Djokovic angry
“I’ve played in much more hostile environments, trust me, you guys can’t touch me,” Novak Djokovic assured the Centre Court crowd at Wimbledon on Monday night. Even after winning in straight sets, he had the bit between his teeth. Holger Rune couldn’t touch him either, you see, so the seven-time champion had a little more energy to expend.
Make no mistake, the 24-time grand slam champion can win Wimbledon this week. He remains among the favourites, and rightly so. But after his walkover exit from the French Open, and with that compression sleeve still hugging his surgically-repaired right knee, and with his movement a little laboured, it is fair to suggest that he’ll welcome this straight-sets win.
