Tennis: Novak Djokovic earned another slice of Wimbledon history as the seven-time winner advanced to the fourth round, while defending champion Jannik Sinner powered past Jenson Brooksby on Friday. Djokovic beat French 25th seed Arthur Rinderknech to equal Roger Federer’s men’s singles record for most match wins at Wimbledon. He also tied Federer for most appearances in the last 16 of the men’s singles at Wimbledon in the Open era, making the fourth round for the 18th time.
Sinner delivered an imperious display to beat world number 81 Brooksby 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. The 24-year-old is into the last 16 for the fifth time, equalling Nicola Pietrangeli’s record for most Wimbledon men’s singles fourth-round appearances by an Italian. In the last 16, he will face Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki, who beat the Spaniard Rafael Jodar in the third round.
