De Minaur sets up Wimbledon clash with Djokovic as Serbian grabs record-equalling 100th win at All England Club
Alex de Minaur dispatched a Danish qualifier at Wimbledon on Sunday (AEST) to set up a fourth-round match against Novak Djokovic as Australia's top-ranked women's player dropped out at the All England Club.
And Djokovic won his match to become just the third player in history to notch 100 victories at Wimbledon, joining Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer.
De Minaur, Australia's top-ranked men's player, collected a 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-3 win over August Holmgren, who at 27 was playing in the main draw of a grand slam for the first time.

Daria Kasatkina, the Russian-born player who in March switched her allegiance to Australia after being granted permanent residency, lost to Russia's Liudmila Samsonova 6-2, 6-3.
Djokovic, who's vying for a record-extending 25th grand slam crown, defeated fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanović 6-3, 6-0, 6-4.

A spot in the quarter-finals will be on the line when 11th seed de Minaur takes on sixth seed Djokovic.
"Any history that I make in my favorite tournament, I'm blessed," Djokovic said.
"I try not to take anything for granted, particularly [at] this age, still going strong, still trying to compete with the young players and do some slides and some splits on the court, and push myself to the limit."
