Novak Djokovic is more than a decade older than any other man in the Wimbledon semifinals. He says it motivates him to see if he can keep going toe-to-toe against the younger players at the top of tennis these days.

The seven-time winner and reigning men’s world No1 are due to clash on Centre Court on Friday for a place in the final at the All England Club, while defending back-to-back champion Carlos Alcaraz meets American fifth seed Taylor Fritz.

He passed Roger Federer, who has made the final four of Wimbledon 13 times. Jimmy Connors has 11 appearances followed by Boris Becker with 9. It's another key record that adds to Djokovic's case as the best player to ever grace Wimbledon Centre Court.
