Novak Djokovic overcomes historic bad start to reach Wimbledon quarter-finals

Novak Djokovic recovered from his worst first set at Wimbledon to battle past Alex De Minaur and into a 16th quarter-final.

The Serbian has not fallen before the final at the All England Club since 2017 but he will need to raise his level if he is to maintain that record after scrapping to a 1-6 6-4 6-4 6-4 victory over Australian De Minaur in three hours and 19 minutes.

Djokovic cannot have played many worse sets at Wimbledon than the opening one here, with the Serbian making 16 unforced errors, including four double faults and dropping serve three times.
