Djokovic downs Bautista Agut for chance to win 5th Wimbledon title

Novak Djokovic will get his chance to defend his 2018 Wimbledon title after defeating No. 23 Roberto Bautista Agut (6-2, 4-6, 6-3, 6-2) in the first men's singles semifinal on Friday.

Djokovic won 56-of-73 (76.7 percent) of his first-serve points and 21-of-41 (51.2 percent) on his second serve. In the return game, he took 41-of-106 (38.7 percent) of his receiving points for an all-around edge over the Spaniard.

The win snaps Djokovic's two-match losing streak against Bautista Agut and continues his most recent run of dominance at the world's top tennis tournaments. Dating back to last year's Wimbledon run, the 32-year-old boasts a 31-1 record, with his lone loss coming at the French Open semifinal earlier this year.

Next, the world No. 1 will face No. 3 Roger Federer on Sunday with the title on the line. The Swiss legend will look to avenge a pair of previous defeats, having lost to Djokovic in the final match in 2014 and 2015.
