Tennis player Novak Djokovic, seeded seventh, secured his 55th appearance in Grand Slam semifinals, a significant milestone in his successful career, after a grueling victory. He beat Félix Auger-Aliassime, third seed, in an epic clash that lasted more than five hours and was only defined in the super tie-break of the fifth set.
Advancing in the tournament, Djokovic will now face the top seed, Jannik Sinner. The Italian secured his place by defeating Jan-Lennard Struff resoundingly, in a match decided in straight sets.
In the women’s tournament, American Coco Gauff, seeded seventh, reached her first Wimbledon semifinal, a remarkable feat in her young career. She won the spot in a three-set battle against her compatriot Jessica Pegula, the fourth seed.
To seek a place in the grand final, Gauff will face Karolína Muchová, the tenth seed in the championship. The Czech tennis player won over the tenth seed, Naomi Osaka, in consecutive sets.
