In a historic feat on Sunday, 38-year-old Novak Djokovic triumphed over Jan-Lennard Struff with a 6-3 6-3 6-2 victory, achieving the status of the oldest man to reach the quarter-finals across all four Grand Slams in a single season.

Djokovic's advance into his 64th Grand Slam quarter-final extends his all-time record while keeping his aspirations for a record 25th major title alive. His dominant performance included breaking Struff's serve six times throughout their 109-minute clash.

Though Struff exited the tournament with the second-highest ace count of 66, he failed to challenge Djokovic, who delivered 12 aces and won 79% of first-serve points. Next, Djokovic will face American Taylor Fritz.
