Ageless Novak Djokovic added another chapter to his remarkable Wimbledon legacy on Friday, claiming his 105th victory at the All England Club to reach the fourth round, while top seed Jannik Sinner delivered his most convincing performance yet as his title defense gathered momentum.
The 39-year-old Djokovic, chasing a men's record-tying eighth Wimbledon crown and a record 25th Grand Slam singles title, overcame France's Arthur Rinderknech 7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) with another masterclass on Centre Court.
World No. 1 Sinner, who could face Djokovic in the semifinals, had been building steadily into the tournament but found another gear against American Jenson Brooksby, cruising to a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory to underline his growing confidence on grass.
Away from the spotlight, Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime quietly continued his impressive run, defeating American Michael Zheng 7-6 (1), 6-2, 6-1 to set up a fourth-round clash with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Women's top seed Aryna Sabalenka also moved ominously into the last 16, comfortably dispatching Latvia's Jelena Ostapenko 6-4, 6-4 in a high-octane Centre Court duel.
