Novak Djokovic vs Felix Auger-Aliassime: The king of the court faces the Canadian test in the quarter-finals 
Wimbledon’s sacred Centre Court grass is set to come alive on Tuesday for a heavyweight quarter-final between Novak Djokovic and Felix Auger-Aliassime. On the line is a place in the last four of the London classic. Djokovic, a living legend at the All England Club, is chasing a record 15th semi-final in his backyard, while the Canadian arrives buzzing after an epic marathon in the previous round and is dreaming of toppling the king to reach his first semi-final in London.
To get this far, the man with 24 Grand Slam titles had to dig deep in the last 16 against the stubborn Roman Safiullin (7-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3), a reminder that he still knows how to turn the screw when it matters. Auger-Aliassime, meanwhile, came from a long way back. Trailed and rattled by Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, the Canadian showed serious steel to edge through in five sets (6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-1). Their third meeting on tour promises fireworks.

Novak Djokovic, records and ruthless control when the pressure’s on 
Another landmark for Novak Djokovic, who, thanks to Sunday’s win, moved past Roger Federer to become the Open Era’s all-time leader for men’s singles wins at Wimbledon (106 victories). On Tuesday, the Serb will play his 66th Grand Slam quarter-final, a stage where he is riding a six-match winning streak. He has not always been at his most dazzling during the first week, dropping a set in three of his four matches, but “Nole” turns into an almost impossible wall once the temperature rises.
Serving brilliantly, Djokovic has passed the 10-ace mark in every outing this year, while keeping double faults to three or fewer per match. His Wimbledon quarter-final record is frankly brutal: in 16 appearances at this stage, he has lost only twice. Better still, even when he drops the first set, the Serb never seems to blink, as shown in his comeback quarter-final against Flavio Cobolli at the 2025 edition.
Auger-Aliassime leans on his thunderous serve to break through the glass ceiling 
For Felix Auger-Aliassime, this is his sixth Grand Slam quarter-final, but more importantly a golden chance to break new ground at Wimbledon. The 25-year-old has often stumbled at this stage before, including in 2021 against Matteo Berrettini on this same London grass. To make the Serbian machine doubt himself, the Canadian will need to stick to the same formula that saw off Davidovich Fokina: constant aggression and a serve that was simply massive, backed up by the 27 aces he hammered on Sunday.
From the start of the tournament, Auger-Aliassime has posted eye-catching numbers, winning more than 80% of points behind his first serve in three of his first four matches. He also knows he has the tools to trouble Djokovic, as their latest clash in 2022 at the Laver Cup showed, when his 12 aces carried him to a straight-sets win. To pull off the same trick on a surface this demanding, in a best-of-five format, consistency and long rallies will be his biggest tests.
Head-to-head (H2H):
Rome Masters 1000 (2022) – Quarter-final: Djokovic wins 7-5, 7-6
Laver Cup (2022) – Round-robin stage: Auger-Aliassime wins 6-3, 7-6
Wimbledon 2026 Prediction: Novak Djokovic vs Felix Auger-Aliassime
Djokovic to win
Even if Felix Auger-Aliassime is in good form and has a serve that can rattle anyone on grass, this looks a step too far against the master of the place in a best-of-five set match. Novak Djokovic is a tactical computer, able to read and adjust to the biggest serves on tour as the match wears on. The Serb has already shown in earlier rounds that he can ride out the rough patches and punish even the smallest drop in intensity.
On top of that, the Canadian spent plenty of physical and mental fuel in his five-set battle with Davidovich Fokina, and that kind of effort can weigh heavily once he comes up against the most durable player on the circuit. When it matters most, Djokovic’s unmatched experience, as he goes for an eighth straight semi-final here, and his metronomic baseline game should force Auger-Aliassime into mistakes. A solid win for the Serb looks the most likely route to the last four.

First, a word on our picks
- What we publish on mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a read of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal from nowhere… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it never really is. And yes, that means you can lose. In fact, you will at some point.
- The smart play is to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Do not touch money you need to live. And above all: do not chase your losses, because that rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If you feel it is taking up too much space in your life, getting under your skin or putting you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That is what they are there for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never go away, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden for minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can go wrong fast (money losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our picks are not a contract. They have no legal force. Put simply: you cannot use them to demand anything if a bet does not land.
Information changes fast
A prediction is always based on what we know when it is written. But in the meantime, a team sheet changes, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can be out of date before you know it. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, make sure betting is legal where you are. If it is not, that is your responsibility, not ours.
