Federer, Djokovic advance
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have combined to win 39 Grand Slam titles. The possibility of them meeting in the Wimbledon men’s final remains strong following fourth-round wins by both players.
Federer became the oldest man in the Open era to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals by beating Lorenzo Sonego in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4, 6-2. The eight-time Wimbledon champ needed two attempts to serve out the first set but never looked threatened after that.
It is the 18th time Federer has gone this far at the All England Club, extending his own record as he seeks his 21st Grand Slam title.
Djokovic reached his 50th Grand Slam quarterfinal by outplaying Christian Garin of Chile 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. The top-ranked Serb and two-time defending champ lost just three points on his first serve in the match and saved the only two break points he faced.
Djokovic is in line for his record-tying 20th Grand Slam title and sixth at Wimbledon.
American Sebastian Korda was knocked out on Monday, ending his longest run in a Grand Slam. Korda was dispatched by Karen Khachanov of Russia, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 10-8.

Felix Auger-Aliassime wasted a two-sets-to-love lead before closing out an upset of fourth seed Alexander Zverev, 6-4, 7-6, 3-6, 3-6, 6-4. Auger-Aliassime reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the first time and joined countryman Denis Shapovalov in the Elite Eight.

Matteo Berrettini became the first Italian man in 23 years to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals by easing past unseeded Ilya Ivashka 6-4, 6-3, 6-1.
Marton Fucsovics became the first Hungarian man to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals since 1948 by finally getting the better of fifth seed Andrey Rublev, 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3. Fucsovics next faces Djokovic.
The fourth-round match between No. 2-seeded Daniil Medvedev and No. 14 Hubert Hurkacz (HUR’-kahts) was suspended by rain and is scheduled to resume on Tuesday. Medvedev leads 6-2, 6-7, 6-3, 3-4, with the players on serve in the fourth set.
On the women’s side, top-ranked Ash Barty is a quarterfinalist following a 7-5, 6-3 victory over reigning Frech Open champ Barbora Krejcikova. Barty came from a break down in the first set and then saved seven of the eight break points she faced in the second to end Krejcijkova’s 15-match winning streak.
No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal by beating Elena Rybakina, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
