Djokovic came under serious pressure for the first time at this Wimbledon Championships, before solving the riddle to triumph 1-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 and book his place in the quarter-finals

With Roger Federer, an eight-time Wimbledon winner, sitting in the front row of the Royal Box, so little went right at the outset for the 38-year-old Djokovic on the grass below during a breezy afternoon with the temperature in the 60s Fahrenheit (teens Celsius), a week after matches were contested in record-breaking heat.

Novak Djokovic overcame a slow start to defeat Alex de Minaur in the Round of 16 at Wimbledon on Monday. Djokovic dropped the first set of the match before he ultimately moved one step closer to his eighth Wimbledon title with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 win over de Minaur.
