Carlos Alcaraz takes on Daniil Medvedev on Friday for a place in the Wimbledon final, where history-chasing Novak Djokovic will likely be lying in wait.

Novak Djokovic said he considers himself "favourite" to lift this year's Wimbledon title even if it makes him sound "arrogant".

Favourite Novak Djokovic found himself behind for the first time at this year's Wimbledon but responded in brutal fashion to beat Andrey Rublev 4-6 6-1 6-4 6-3 and reach the semi-finals on Tuesday for the 12th time.

Alcaraz lost the first set to 2021 runner-up Matteo Berrettini but recovered to reach the quarters for the first time, winning 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3

Novak Djokovic breached the previously impregnable defences of Hubert Hurkacz to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the 14th time on Monday.

Djokovic took a two sets lead over Hubert Hurkacz in their last 16 clash when play was halted ahead of a locally agreed 11pm night-time curfew

Novak Djokovic reached the fourth round at Wimbledon for the 15th time on Friday with a straight-sets defeat of old rival Stan Wawrinka.

The defending champion beat his unseeded Australian opponent 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5  to reach the third round, where he will meet Tomas Martin Etcheverry or Stan Wawrinka

World number one Carlos Alcaraz has warned Novak Djokovic he won't crack under pressure if the title rivals meet in the Wimbledon final.

Djokovic, 36, has only lost twice at Wimbledon in a decade and began the Centre Court programme with a 6-3 6-3 7-6(4) win over Argentine Pedro Cachin after a 70-minute delay despite the roof being closed as ground staff laboured to dry the turf

The roof was closed just after the Serbian seven-time champion wrapped up the first set 6-3 against Argentina's Pedro Cachin, with rain falling in southwest London on the opening day of the championships

The 36-year-old Serb, who has won the last four titles at the All England Club, opens proceedings on Centre Court where he has not lost in 10 years.

Novak Djokovic says he is still "hungry" for Grand Slam glory as Wimbledon rivals queue up to hail him as the "greatest" and his achievements as "phenomenal".

Novak Djokovic will begin his quest for a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon title against Argentina's Pedro Cachin, with a potential rematch of last year's final against Nick Kyrgios looming in the quarterfinals.

The Serbian scaled the summit by claiming his 23rd major at the French Open earlier this month, staving off younger rivals including the ailing Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals and Casper Ruud in the title clash

Roger Federer described Novak Djokovic's record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title achievement as "unbelievable" on Wednesday but avoided anointing his old rival as the greatest player of all time.

Djokovic’s astonishing number of slams in each court is what makes him, at the moment, the best player across all surfaces.

Novak Djokovic created history on Sunday when he captured a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title with a third French Open triumph, reinforcing his case to be crowned the greatest player of all time.
