Novak Djokovic booked his place in the Wimbledon quarter-finals with a straight-sets victory over Holger Rune, winning 6-3, 6-4, 6-2. Djokovic, who had dropped sets in his previous matches against Jacob Fearnley and Alexei Popyrin, displayed a clinical performance against the 21-year-old Dane. Rune, initially overawed, showed great spirit but could not match Djokovic’s level of play.

Djokovic expressed frustration with certain sections of the Wimbledon crowd during his courtside interview, noting mixed reactions and stating, “I’ve played in far more hostile environments than this. You guys can’t touch me.”

Next, Djokovic will face Australia’s Alex de Minaur, who advanced to his first Wimbledon quarter-final by defeating France’s Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
