Novak Djokovic was given an early scare but continued his bid for a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon trophy and standalone 25th Grand Slam title by beating Italian Flavio Cobolli 6-7(6) 6-2 7-5 6-4 on Wednesday to reach the semi-finals.

Cobolli, like Djokovic, has endured very little resistance to this point at Wimbledon. His first two matches came against the World No. 247 and 281, respectively, and his only win over a player inside the top 80 was against No. 17 Jakub Mensik, who isn’t a real threat on grass at this point in his career.
