Novak Djokovic is still missing a victory to defend his title at Wimbledon. The 32-year-old Belgrade had to give Roberto Bautista Agut a set, but was never in danger of losing the match. After a playing time of 2:48 hours, Djokovic won 6: 2, 4: 6, 6: 3 and 6: 2.

Most of the time, Djokovic acted very variably, bringing Bautista Agut to the grid with stops, but he also tried to make a quick decision more often than usual. The volleys of the industry leader were mostly successful, Djokovic prepared his attacks too well. 41 points on the network spoke a clear language.
Bautista Agut was able to believe in a surprise in the second round - in contrast to the two defeats against the Spaniard in Doha and Miami, Djokovic found his way back into the match. And continued to expand his dominance as the game continued. Still, the 15-time major winner needed five match balls to get the final into the final under wraps

In the final on Sunday, the Serb will face either Rafael Nadal or Roger Federer. The two legends came to Djokvic and Bautista Agut on Wimbledon's Center Court for their 40th game against each other. The first time since its legendary final in 2008.
