Felix Auger-Aliassime vs Novak Djokovic Preview & Tips
Felix Auger-Aliassime needed all five sets to eventually beat Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in an enthralling fourth round tie at Wimbledon.
Novak Djokovic won a battle of attrition against Roman Safiullin in the fourth round as he eliminated his opponent in four sets.
- Auger-Aliassime has lost 13 of his 43 matches in 2026 (W30)
- Djokovic is yet to lose on grass in 2026 (P4, W4)
Head To Head
The pair have met twice before, with both players winning one match apiece.
Felix Auger-Aliassime Form
Felix Auger-Aliassime has been impressive at Wimbledon in 2026, with three of his four matches ending in comfortable 3-0 wins.
The fourth round saw his perfect record brought to an end in a hugely competitive match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Their meeting saw Auger-Aliassime eventually win 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-7 6-1 as he roared to victory in the deciding set. When it mattered most, Auger-Aliassime showed his class in a ruthless fifth set.
The worry for Auger-Aliassime is that Djokovic is not the sort of player he can afford to let win the first set. If Djokovic is to gain the advantage then he will not likely look back. While I predict that he will give Djokovic some issues, I am not backing him to stun his veteran opponent.
Novak Djokovic Form
Novak Djokovic has not had the easiest time of it at Wimbledon in 2026, with a single 3-0 win coming from his opening four matches.
Djokovic dropped the second set in his opener before dropping the third set in his third and fourth outings. Clearly, Djokovic is having trouble keeping his level of performance high after winning the opening set.
Djokovic's issues when it comes to killing a match off will likely rear its head in this one as he drops another set. Winning 3-1 has been his trademark so far, and I back him to edge into the semi-finals with another win.
Verdict
I am backing a fourth 3-1 win in five 2026 Wimbledon outings as Djokovic moves into the semi-finals of the tournament.
Djokovic 3-1
