LONDON : Novak Djokovic shook off a wobble midway through his clash with big-serving Pole Hubert Hurkacz to book his Wimbledon quarter-final berth on Monday while fellow defending champion Elena Rybakina advanced after an injury to Beatriz Haddad Maia.
"He put up a great performance," said a relieved Djokovic, who withstood a barrage of booming aces from Hurkacz - 33 in total - to remain on course for his fifth straight Wimbledon title and a record-equalling eighth overall. "It's never easy to finish a match like this and I hope it's nothing really serious," said Moscow-born Kazakh Rybakina, who will next take on Ons Jabeur in a tantalising rematch of last year's final.Tunisian sixth seed Jabeur set up the last eight clash with Rybakina after crushing out-of-sorts former champion Petra Kvitova 6-0 6-3 in a Centre Court demolition job.
