Wimbledon 2026: Serbian Tennis star Novak Djokovic’s prevailed over a spirited Felix Auger-Aliassime 6(12)-7(10), 6-3, 3-6, 7(7)-6(4), 6(4)-7(10) in the Quarter-Final of Wimbledon 2026 on July 7, Tuesday, thereby keeping his run well and truly alive. Although Djokovic made a good comeback by winning the third set after losing the second, Auger-Aliassame was resilient enough to take it to the fifth but eventually lost as he couldn’t withstand the 39-year-old’s resilience. In other results, Alexander Zverev reached the quarter-finals but Naomi Osaka has been knocked out.

Alexander Zverev, whose Wimbledon ceiling had also previously been the fourth round, returned ​to finish off dangerous Czech Jiri Lehecka to reach his first quarter-final there. The 29-year-old had been three games from ⁠victory on Monday evening before being snagged by Wimbledon’s curfew and despite allowing Lehecka back into the match on the resumption he completed a 6-4 ​7-5 3-6 7-6(6) win. He will be back on court on Wednesday to face American Taylor Fritz in a battle of the 140 mph servers.

Wimbledon 2026 Karolina Muchova ensures to register her best Wimbledon run

Japan’s Osaka’s outfits ​and tennis have sparkled in equal measure at this year’s Championships, and her dominant victory over world number one Aryna Sabalenka on Sunday had many predicting she could go on and win a fifth Grand Slam title. The 14th seed ran into inspired Czech Karolina Muchova in the quarter-finals on Tuesday, however, losing 7-6(4) 6-4. On a day of personal bests, ​Muchova also ensured her deepest Wimbledon run after twice falling in the last eight and she will now stand in the way of Gauff. Muchova could be joined in the semi-finals by a second Czech on Wednesday when Linda Noskova plays Elise Mertens.
Meanwhile, hot weather warnings might have furrowed the brow of men’s defending champion Jannik Sinner  but he ‌tamed German veteran Jan-Lennard Struff 7-5 7-6(4) 6-3 to reach the semi-finals. Seventh seed Coco Gauff’s relationship with grass has been lukewarm since she made her Wimbledon debut as a 15-year-old in 2019 and had never gone past the fourth round.

With Djokovic seemingly nearing the end of his career, he would be keen to achieve his 25th Grand Slam title – a feat that has been eluding him for a long time. Nevertheless, he is likely to be challenged by Sinner or Zverev at some point in the tournament.
