After surviving a tough match against Alex De Minaur in the fourth round at Wimbledon, Novak Djokovic had a funny reason why Monday's win meant more to him.

The win marked the 16th time Djokovic has moved into the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. The event has been his second-best Grand Slam over his career. Djokovic has seven wins at Wimbledon, and has played in the final at the event in each of the last six Wimbledons.

Novak Djokovic lifted the 'curse' put on him by Roger Federer by winning in front of the Swiss on Centre Court. Eight-time Wimbledon winner Djokovic made it through to the quarter-finals with a hard-fought win over Alex de Minaur on Monday after being trounced in the opening set.
