It is becoming seemingly difficult for the other players to defeat World No 1 Novak Djokovic in Wimbledon. The Serbian, on Wednesday, reached his 10th tournament semi-final with a thumping straight sets win over his Hungarian opponent Marton Fucsovic.  

Djokovic, who is a five-time Wimbledon winner registered a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 victory and will now face Deni Shapovalov of Canada for a place in Sunday’s final.

Playing his 100th game on a grass court, he made the win look easy as he entered the last-four of a major for the 41st time.

“It was a solid performance, I started extremely well and didn’t do many things wrong in the first five games,” said Djokovic at the post-match presentation.

“One break of serve in the second and third set was enough to clinch the victory. But credit to Marton for fighting and hanging in there, he had a great tournament,” Djokovic added.

With a win at Roland Garros last month, the Serbian became only the third man to capture all four majors more than once – a record which is yet to be conquered by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

Now, he is aiming to become the first man since 1969, and only the third in history, to complete a calendar Grand Slam of all four majors.

“I’m aware of certain stats, I love this sport with all my heart, body and soul and have been devoted to it since I was four,” Djokovic, who is chasing a sixth Wimbledon title, said.

“Sometimes things do look surreal for me but I try to live in the moment and take every opportunity I have on the court. Going for history is a huge inspiration for me, let’s keep it going,” he continued.

In the first set, Djokovic raced to a 5-0 lead in the first set before Fucsovics got on the board. The world number 48, who was bidding to become the first Hungarian since 1948 to make the Wimbledon semis, saved five set points. However, it was too late as Djokovic had zoomed ahead.

The top seed broke for the only time in the second set in the ninth game which was enough for a two sets lead.

Should he win the Wimbledon, Djokovic will also equal Federer and Nadal’s record of 20 Grand Slams.
