TL;DR

Novak Djokovic, at 39, outlasted Felix Auger-Aliassime in the longest Wimbledon quarterfinal (5h15m) to reach the semifinals against Jannik Sinner. Aliassime pushed him with more winners and a fierce challenge, while Djokovic battled cramps, a tense roof moment, and the pressure of the moment, ultimately winning in a deciding fifth-set tiebreak to become the oldest major semifinalist since 1977.
