Djokovic wins five-hour Wimbledon epic to set up Sinner blockbuster

Novak Djokovic was pushed to play more than five hours by Felix Auger-Aliassime before the seven-time Wimbledon champion prevailed 7-6 (12-10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (10-4) to set up a semifinal against defending champion Jannik Sinner.When a forehand from Auger-Aliassime sailed wide after a long rally to give Djokovic a 9-4 lead in the final-set tiebreaker, both players leaned on their racquets in exhaustion Djokovic, while he was leaning over, still found energy to encourage the crowd to cheer louder, waving his racquet for more noise.Then on his first match point, a big forehand from Djokovic led to another error from his 25-year-old Canadian opponent to end it after five hours, 15 minutes — and just before the All England Club's 11pm curfew took effect.To celebrate, Djokovic raised his arms high and wide and took in the applause as he walked to the net to shake hands with Auger-Aliassime
