Novak Djokovic reached his 16th Wimbledon quarterfinal on Monday, defeating Alex de Minaur 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The Serbian star finally broke what he jokingly called the “Federer curse” — a streak of never winning a match when Roger Federer was in the stands. Federer watched from the Royal Box as Djokovic rallied from a set down. "It’s probably the first time I’ve won with him watching," Djokovic said. The two legends shared a moment of mutual respect, delighting fans. Djokovic will now face Italy’s Flavio Cobolli. His win came after a gritty comeback in a match lasting over three hours.
