Djokovic breaks Federer’s Wimbledon record to reach quarters

Sinner, a four-time major winner, claimed his third consecutive straight-set victory since surviving a huge scare in his opening five-set win against Miomir Kecmanovic.

Having to come through three consecutive five-set matches since the final round of qualifying to arrive here began to take its toll as Safiullin required a medical timeout for a left-leg problem during the third set.

Mochizuki had the crowd on their feet when he responded by also saving three break points to stay in touch - but Sinner would complete his victory with a final winner into the corner with a first match point on his opponent's serve.
