Novak Djokovic continues his bid for a record 25th grand slam title as he takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.
Djokovic, 39, was unhappy with his performance as he came through qualifier Roman Safiullin in four sets on Sunday.
The seven-time Wimbledon champion will know he will have to improve if he is to defeat third seed Auger-Aliassime, who is into the quarter-finals for the second time.
Djokovic is aiming for a record-extending 15th Wimbledon semi-final, where he may play defending champion Jannik Sinner in a rematch of last year’s final four.
When will Novak Djokovic play Felix Auger-Aliassime?
Djokovic’s quarter-final is scheduled third on Centre Court. It will always going to follow the all-American clash between Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. But it will now also follow the conclusion of Alexander Zverev’s fourth-round match with Jiri Lehecka, which went to a fourth set after its resumption. After Zverev won in four, Djokovic and Auger-Aliassime will be on court next.

What has Novak Djokovic said after reaching quarter-finals?
“To be honest, haven't felt really great on the court, so I was just relieved to get out of it and get a win. Satisfaction and enjoyment was not part of today's win, to be honest. Of course, I'm relieved and happy to win it, but I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully next match will be better in that sense.”
Novak Djokovic v Felix Auger-Aliassime head to head
