Novak Djokovic was in his usual effervescent mood after sailing past Alex de Minaur in the fourth round of Wimbledon, as he teased his contemporary, Roger Federer, in awe of the Serb's win from the Royal Box. The 38-year-old ousted the Aussie in 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to qualify for his 63rd major Quarterfinals on July 7.

During the post-match interaction, Djokovic expressed his joy in having Federer in the stands and extended his thanks towards him. However, he also jokingly added that breaking the curse of loss when the 20-time Grand Slam Champion was watching made him happier.

“Well, I mean, it's probably the first time he's watching me and I won the match. The last couple I lost, so, uh, good to break the curse,” he said.

He chuckled and added:

“No, it's great, obviously. Great to have Roger, huge, huge champion and someone that, you know, I admired and respected a lot. You know, we've shared the stage for so many years and it's great to have him back and in his most successful and his favorite tournament, no doubt.”

Djokovic is now set to play in the 14th Wimbledon semifinal of his career.
