Novak Djokovic is safely through to the Wimbledon quarter-finals after securing a 6-3 6-4 6-2 win over Holger Rune.

It was comfortable in the end for the Serb, who turned on the style to keep his Danish opponent at arm’s length.

Rune had the backing of the Centre Court crowd but was no match for Djokovic, who will face Alex de Minaur in the last eight.

“I’m very pleased,” said Djokovic in his on-court interview.

“I don’t think he played anywhere close to his best, to be honest. He lost the first 12 points and I think it got to him mentally.

“On my end, I think I’ve done things in the right way in important moments. I stayed solid. It could have looked different if I dropped those service games but in the end, a very solid performance.”
