Felix Auger-Aliassime survived a five-set battle with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to book a Wimbledon quarterfinal against Novak Djokovic.
The Canadian third seed endured nearly four hours on court, trading breaks with the Spanish shot-maker before closing in the fifth. Auger-Aliassime has reached major quarterfinals before but never won a Grand Slam title.
A Djokovic quarterfinal represents a formidable test on grass, where the Serb’s experience dominates. Auger-Aliassime’s serve-and-volley options will be critical.
The grueling win may affect recovery time before the next round, a factor coaches weigh in tournament scheduling.
