Novak Djokovic v Felix Auger-Aliassime start time: When is Wimbledon quarter-final?

Novak Djokovic continues his bid for a record 25th grand slam title as he takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the Wimbledon quarter-finals.

Djokovic, 39, was unhappy with his performance as he came through qualifier Roman Safiullin in four sets on Sunday.

The seven-time grand slam champion will know he will have to improve if he is to defeat third seed Auger-Aliassime, who is into the quarter-finals for the second time.

Djokovic is aiming for a record-extending 15th Wimbledon semi-final, where he may play defending champion Jannik Sinner in a rematch of last year’s final four.

When will Novak Djokovic play Felix Auger-Aliassime?

Djokovic’s quarter-final is scheduled third on Centre Court. It will always going to follow the all-American clash between Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. But it will now always follow the conclusion of Alexander Zverev’s fourth-round match with Jiri Lehecka, which has been held overnight due to the Wimbledon curfew. Zverev leads by two sets, with the third paused at 3-3 in the third.

Djokovic could take to court at around 4pm BST, but it could be later if the Gauff-Pegula match goes to a third set and especially if Zverev does not win in three.

What has Novak Djokovic said after reaching quarter-finals?

“To be honest, haven’t felt really great on the court, so I was just relieved to get out of it and get a win. Satisfaction and enjoyment was not part of today’s win, to be honest. Of course, I’m relieved and happy to win it, but I haven’t enjoyed. Hopefully next match will be better in that sense.”
