Novak Djokovic reached a record 15th Wimbledon semifinal after defeating Felix Auger-Aliassime in a five-hour, 15-minute quarterfinal on July 7. The Serbian won 7-6(10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7(4), 7-6(10-4) and will next meet Jannik Sinner. During a broadcast interview, Djokovic expressed admiration for Virat Kohli, describing him as a global star and noting his own growing interest in cricket over the past decade. He said he hopes to visit India soon, play both sports with Kohli, and learn batting technique from the Indian batter. Djokovic overcame a calf problem and lost a break in the fourth set yet secured the longest Wimbledon quarterfinal in history, extending his bid for a 25th major title.
