A thrilling Wimbledon quarter-final clash is set between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Novak Djokovic. Here’s a look at the key details ahead of this highly anticipated matchup.
Auger-Aliassime, the tournament's third seed, was pushed to his limits in a grueling fourth-round battle against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. The match lasted four and a half hours and went the full five sets, with three of them decided by tie-breaks.
Until that point, the Canadian had breezed through his opponents in straight sets, with the exception of a tougher challenge from Dino Prizmic. Now, he faces the legendary Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals, the same stage he reached at the recent French Open.
For his part, Djokovic has been chasing a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title for the past couple of years. Wimbledon, where he has already triumphed seven times, appears to be his best opportunity to achieve this milestone and equal Roger Federer's record of eight titles at the All England Club.
The fast-paced, serve-and-volley style prevalent on grass courts suits the Serbian veteran's game perfectly at this stage of his career. After an early third-round exit at the French Open to Joao Fonseca, Djokovic has found his form at Wimbledon, defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas, Arthur Rinderknech, and Roman Safiullin—the very player who had eliminated Fonseca in Paris.
The Wimbledon quarter-final match between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Novak Djokovic is scheduled for Tuesday, July 7 at 9:40 AM ET / 8:40 AM CT / 6:40 AM PT.
Viewers in the US can watch the match live on ESPN, available via cable and live streaming services such as YouTube TV. You can also stream the game live on ESPN+.
