Holger Rune

LONDON - Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic is through to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after a 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 win over Dane Holger Rune on Monday evening.

Djokovic, who won after two hours and five minutes of play, will next face Australian Alex de Minaur, who defeated Frenchman Artur Fils.

In the latest update of the ATP world rankings, Grigor Dimitrov, Bulgaria's most successful tennis player, maintains his position in the top ten despite a slight drop. Dimitrov now stands at No. 10 after adding 100 points to his tally to reach the round of 16 at the Monte-Carlo Masters 1000 tournament.

Two-time champion Stefanos Tsitsipas eased into the Monte Carlo Masters semifinals on Friday with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Karen Khachanov.

The 12th-ranked Greek player dropped only five points on his first serve and hit 20 winners.

He will next face either Jannik Sinner or Holger Rune for a spot in the final at the clay-court event.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has pledged to donate $1000 for every ace he hits during the Mexican Open tennis tournament to help with the reconstruction of Acapulco following the devastation caused by Hurricane Otis last October.

Djokovic won seven titles in the just ended season, including three Grand Slam trophies, along with playing in the Wimbledon final.
As in 2015, Novak won three slams and the ATP final, he also finished the year as the number one in the world, but Mouratoglou believes that this last season is even better than the one eight years ago.
