Novak Djokovic began expressing a heartfelt thought about returning to the semifinals at the All England Club — “It means the world to me,” he was saying, “that I’m still able, at 38, to play (in the) final stages of Wimbledon” — when the Centre Court crowd interrupted with yelling and applause.

The Wimbledon men's singles semi-finals take place at the All England Club on Friday. If ever a Grand Slam semi-final involving Spain's Carlos Alcaraz could be described as a warm-up act that could be a fair description of his clash with American Taylor Fritz in the opening match on Centre Court.

The 38-year-old overcame a first-set loss to take a 6-7, 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 victory over Italian Flavio Cobolli to advance to the semifinals for the 14th time at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. Djokovic has now reached the final four at Wimbledon more than any other men's tennis player, surpassing Roger Federer on Wednesday.

Every other day at Wimbledon has brought an opportunity to compare the greatest player in men's tennis and one of his heirs.

A “private” conversation between the Queen and tennis star Novak Djokovic covered the Queen’s stay at one of his properties in Montenegro. The Queen, 77, attended Wimbledon on Wednesday and caught up with the multi-Grand Slam winner ahead of watching the men’s quarter-finals from the Royal Box on Centre Court.

Novak Djokovic's tennis career has been littered with incredible highs and crushing lows, with the Serbian legend even coming close to retiring before bouncing back to win 12 more Grand Slam titles

Nick Kyrgios believes Novak Djokovic still has something to offer but fears the Serb is on his "last legs," mainly because Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have become so dominant and it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with them.
