Novak Djokovic takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Wimbledon 2026 quarter-finals this afternoon, with the 39-year-old Serb seeking a record-extending 24th Grand Slam title and eighth Wimbledon crown. The match is scheduled to start on Centre Court at approximately 3:30pm BST, following the conclusion of the women's quarter-final between Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff.
Djokovic's Path to the Quarter-Finals
Seeded seventh at the All England Club, Djokovic has had a challenging route to the last eight. He dropped a set in all but one of his four matches, defeating Yibing Wu, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Arthur Rinderknech, and Roman Safiullin. Despite these struggles, the veteran has grown in confidence as the tournament progresses. His last Wimbledon title came in 2022, when he beat Nick Kyrgios in the final.
Auger-Aliassime's Journey
Third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime also faced a scare in the fourth round, recovering from a two-sets-to-one deficit against 22nd seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina to win a five-set thriller on Court No. 1. The Canadian world No. 4 has a 1-1 head-to-head record against Djokovic, making this quarter-final a tough test for both players.
What's at Stake
Djokovic is aiming for his eighth Wimbledon title, which would extend his record for most Grand Slam titles by a man to 24. Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, is seeking his first Grand Slam final appearance. The winner will face either Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals.
