Djokovic was brilliant on the Central Court, scoring 1:6, 6:4, 6:4, 6:4, and his next rival will be Flavio Cobolli, who eliminated Marin Čilić after four sets.Novak managed to celebrate for the third time against the Australian in the fourth mutual duel, which was generally quite complicated for the sixth player of the planet.He quickly lost the first set, winning only one game, and in the next three, with a lot of ups and downs, he managed to beat the Australian, 11th on the ATP list.Djokovic reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon for the 16th time in his career, where he reached the title on seven occasions.Luka Nikolić/B92.sportIt's been a long time since Novak played such a bad set at Wimbledon, as was the case with the first one, which lasted only about half an hour.De Minaur roared through it, breaking Djokovic's serve three times, so Novak didn't know what hit him.He made a lot of mistakes, even made 16 unforced ones, four of which were doubles from the serve, so the result could not have been different.Novak quickly forgot about the debacle in the opening set and made the first break of the match immediately at the start of the resumption.The joy did not last long, as the marathon game, which lasted as long as 19 minutes, belonged to De Minaur - he used the sixth break chance in total.EPA/NEIL HALLThe entire second set was turbulent, the Serb and the Australian once again exchanged breaks, before Djokovic made the key point in the seventh game, which he won without losing a point.Djokovic, admittedly, had problems to bring this set to an end, as he had to face two break points in the 10th game, before tying the set.The third set was drastically calmer compared to the first two, although it also started with two unused break points for Novak.The calm reigned until the ninth game, when Djokovic waited for several unforced errors from De Minaur, who will definitely be haunted by them.Djokovic could have broken his rival in the first game of the fourth set, but he missed one break chance.Tanjug/AP Photo/Kin CheungThe punishment came in the next game, when Alex took away his serve and kept that advantage until 4:1.De Minaur then had the opportunity to beat Novak in this period and go to 5:1, with a double break, but Novak got through.Not only did he get away, but immediately after that he waited for the opportunity to return the break. On the third attempt, he succeeded, sending an indefensible forehand along the parallel.Djokovic did not stop there, De Minaur's hand got tight in the ninth game, so the Serbian ace made another break and soon brought the match to an end.
