Novak Djokovic has come through the longest quarter-final in Wimbledon history, outlasting Felix Auger-Aliassime over five hours and 15 minutes on Centre Court. The 39-year-old won a final-set tiebreak to seal it, breaking a record that had stood since 2008 and reaching his 15th Wimbledon semi-final. He now faces defending champion Jannik Sinner on Friday, two wins from a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.
