Historic Milestone Reached on Centre Court
The seventh seed entered the match level with Federer but was made to work intensely for his standalone record. Djokovic clinched a tense opening set in a tiebreak before comfortably securing the second. Although Safiullin fought back to take the third set, the 24-time Grand Slam champion recomposed himself in the fourth, showcasing his trademark baseline resilience to close out the match 7–6(6), 6–3, 3–6, 6–3.
The victory marks a monumental achievement for Djokovic at the All England Club, where he continues to cement his status as one of the most dominant grass-court players of all time.
Navigating a Tough Weekly Draw
Djokovic's path to the last eight has seen him navigate a series of challenging encounters over the first week. He opened his 2026 campaign with a four-set victory over China's Wu Yibing before delivering a masterclass straight-sets win against Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round. Serena Williams Pulls Out of Wimbledon 2026 Doubles With Sister Venus Due to Injury.

Having overcome a difficult clay-court swing earlier in the season, his clinical performances on the London grass position him as a major title favorite as the tournament approaches its final week.
