The former Swiss legend had made it to 13 Wimbledon semis and held the record. This is massive from Djokovic, who is now one step away from the title clash. During the game, Djokovic also encountered a nasty fall of which he spoke after the game. 

"I did not fall so far this year. It is surprising because of the way I move on grass - very aggressive - you expect to fall and to have these situations," he said.

‘That happens on the grass’

"In terms of the fall, it was a nasty fall. It was very awkward. That happens on the grass. I've had quite a few of those throughout my grass-court career. Obviously, the body is not the same today like it was before, so I guess the real impact or effect of what happened I will feel tomorrow. So let's see," he added.

Who Will Djokovic Play Next? 

Djokovic will play World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the semi-final, which will easily be his toughest contest of the tournament thus far. It will not be a walk in the park for the legend for sure. 

While Djokovic chases his eighth Wimbledon title, Sinner would be eyeing his maiden title. In fact, in case Sinner makes it to the summit clash - it would be his first.
