\n Novak Djokovic<\/a> had to be at his very best to get past Andrey Rublev on Tuesday, winning 4-6 6-1 6-4 6-3 in a thrilling clash to reach the Wimbledon<\/a> semifinals.\n <\/p>\n

\n Rublev, who has never reached the semifinals of a grand slam, was in inspired form during the first set, using his huge serve and booming ground strokes to take an early lead.\n <\/p>\n

\n However, as is so often the case when players face the imperious Djokovic, Rublev was unable to maintain the same quality and intensity as the Serb ran away with the second set.\n <\/p>\n

\n But Rublev picked up his level again and pushed Djokovic all the way in the third set, with the 23-time grand slam champion holding serve after an epic 15-minute game to take a 2-1 lead.\n <\/p>\n

\n Though Rublev continued to battle on, he was unable to rekindle the same form that helped him win the first set \u2013 now a distant memory \u2013 as an early break of serve in the fourth consigned the Russian to another bruising grand slam quarterfinal defeat.\n <\/p>\n

\n

\n It is quite remarkable that Djokovic still consistently manages to find some of the best tennis of his career at the age of 36 and he has solidified his place as the overwhelming favorite to win Wimbledon with each passing round.\n <\/p>\n

\n His victory over Rublev means Djokovic will now play in his 46th grand slam semifinal, tying Roger Federer\u2019s all-time record, but the Serb insists he\u2019s not thinking about records just yet.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey\u2019re just numbers at the end of the day, especially during the tournament I don\u2019t like spending too much time thinking about statistics,\u201d Djokovic said in his on-court interview.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s a tournament that\u2019s active for me, I\u2019m still in it, as well as the other players, and that\u2019s all I\u2019m thinking about.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s only going to get tougher but I like the way I played today, the energy on the court as well, so hopefully I can get another win in a few days\u2019 time,\u201d he added.\n <\/p>\n

\n
\n \"Novak<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n Perhaps the person who will be most disappointed with Djokovic\u2019s victory is his own daughter, Tara. The world No. 2 told the BBC before the quarterfinal that Rublev is Tara Djokovic\u2019s favorite player, as she likes his headband and his intensity.\n <\/p>\n

\n Djokovic, who now hasn\u2019t lost on Wimbledon\u2019s Center Court for a decade, certainly agrees with his daughter\u2019s analysis of Rublev. \u201cThere were some thrilling rallies,\u201d Djokovic said. \u201cHe brings a lot of intensity to the court, it\u2019s kind of scary both the ball and the sound coming from the corner.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cHe\u2019s someone that\u2019s been around the top 10 for a few years, I have to congratulate him for a great match today and a great tournament.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n Up next for Djokovic, who is bidding to match Federer\u2019s record of of five consecutive Wimbledon titles \u2013 held jointly with Bj\u00f6rn Borg \u2013 and eight overall, is rising star Jannick Sinner, who beat Russia\u2019s Roman Safiullin earlier on Tuesday.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
