Wimbledon: Novak Djokovic Beats Marton Fucsovics, Storms Into 41st Grand Slam Semi-Final | Tennis News
World number one and five-time champion Novak Djokovic reached his 10th Wimbledon semi-final on Wednesday with a straight-sets win over Marton Fucsovics of Hungary. Djokovic, chasing a record-equalling 20th Grand Slam title, won 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 and will face either Russia’s Karen Khachanov or Denis Shapovalov of Canada for a place in Sunday’s final. It was 34-year-old Djokovic’s 100th career grass court win as he made the last-four of a major for the 41st time. “It was a solid performance, I started extremely well and didn’t do many things wrong in the first five games,” said Djokovic.
“One break of serve in the second and third set was enough to clinch the victory. But credit to Marton for fighting and hanging in there, he had a great tournament.”
Djokovic became only the third man to capture all four majors more than once with his second French Open victory last month.
Now he is halfway to becoming the first man since 1969, and only the third in history, to complete a calendar Grand Slam of all four majors.
“I’m aware of certain stats, I love this sport with all my heart, body and soul and have been devoted to it since I was four,” he added.
