Djokovic reaches quarter-finals for the 15th time by defeating Holger Rune

Serbian star tennis player Novak Djokovic on Monday defeated Denmark's Holger Rune 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 to enter the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the 15th time.
Djokovic, the 24-time Grand Slam champion, dealt a blow to Rune, reeling off 12 consecutive points to take a 3-0 lead in the opening set.
The 21-year-old Rune could hardly raise his game to compete with the seven-time Wimbledon champion and, like last year, failed to reach the quarter-finals at the All England Club.
After the win, 37-year-old Djokovic said, “I don't think Holger played even close to his best. It was a tough start for him. It disturbed him mentally.”
Djokovic will face Alex de Minaur in the next round. Australian player Minaur defeated Arthur Fils of France 6-2, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
In another match, American veteran Taylor Fritz came back from two sets down to beat Alexander Zverev 4-6, 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3), 6-3.
In women's singles, last year's semi-finalist Elina Svitolina of Ukraine defeated Wang Xinyu of China 6–2, 6–1 in under an hour.
Svitolina, 29, will take on 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan in the quarterfinals.
