Just over five weeks after undergoing knee surgery, and three weeks on from arriving at SW19 uncertain if he would even be able to play, Novak Djokovic is through to another Wimbledon final.
It is a stage he has set up almost permanent residence on since 2010, reaching ten finals in the 14 years that have followed. Roger Federer edged a 2012 semi-final, Sam Querrey beat him in the third round in 2016 and Djokovic retired from a quarter-final against Tomas Berdych a year later, but otherwise only a pandemic has got between him and a full fortnight at Wimbledon.
