Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic battled back from a sluggish start to overcome an inspired Alex de Minaur and reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

The 38-year-old endured an uncomfortable three hours and 18 minutes on Centre Court against Australian 11th seed De Minaur but he is now within three wins of another piece of history.
Djokovic is bidding to equal Federer's record of eight men's singles titles at Wimbledon, as well as a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title.
