This was also Djokovic's 100th win on the Grass Court.

Djokovic brought his A-game to the court in the first set, and he did not give his opponent Fucsovics any chance. The Serbian took the first set quite easily 6-3.

In the second set, Fucsovics possessed more of a challenge and he was able to take a 3-2 lead at one stage. However, the 34-year-old Djokovic bounced back and went on to win the second set 6-4.

With this, Djokovic needed to win one more set to progress to the semi-finals.

The Serbian player did not disappoint and he won the third set to progress ahead in the ongoing Grand Slam.
