Novak Djokovic has progressed into the final four of the men's singles at Wimbledon after a hard-fought, emotionally charged victory over Andrey Rublev.
The Serbian had his work cut out against the Russian and actually lost the first-set 6-4. However, he brushed off the disappointment to dominate the second, winning that set 6-1 with extreme ease in just 28 minutes. The third set was significantly tougher, but the world number two held on despite some nervy moments to take it by six games to four.
There were times where Djokovic's frustration with the centre court crowd came to the fore, particularly in the final game of the third set when he brought his finger to his ear, seemingly asking if the fans in attendance would cheer for him as loud as they were the underdog.
