Stat of the Day: Novak Djokovic has now won 18 of his last 19 Grand Slam semifinals

After dropping the first set to Cam Norrie it was smooth sailing for Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of Wimbledon on Friday, as he cruised past the British No. 1 in the next three sets to move comfortably through to the final, 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

Not only is the Serb now through to the 32nd Grand Slam final of his career—breaking a tie with Roger Federer for the most in men's tennis history—but he’s now won an incredible 18 of his last 19 Grand Slam semifinals, a stretch that dates back to the start of the 2015 season.

And the only loss in that stretch was as close to a win as a player can get.
