Djokovic pumped to win 100th Wimbledon match

Serb chalks up another milestone, as title defense ends in tears for Krejcikova

LONDON — Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic won his 100th match at Wimbledon and led the march of the old guard into the last 16 on Saturday, while an ailing Barbora Krejcikova's title defense ended in defeat and tears.

World No 1 Jannik Sinner was at his ruthless best yet again, as the Italian gathered momentum in his quest for a maiden All England Club title, while American Ben Shelton and Australian Alex de Minaur announced themselves as dark horses for the crown.

Djokovic is on an altogether different plane as he looks to capture his eighth Wimbledon title — to match Roger Federer's record on the pristine lawns of London — and his 25th major overall to surpass Margaret Court on the all-time list of champions.
