Novak Djokovic breaks Roger Federer's all-time Wimbledon wins record

He dropped the third set after being warned for an audible obscenity, before regaining control to close out the victory in the fourth . The 39-year-old Serbian legend, now the sole men's record-holder at SW19, advanced to the quarterfinals as a result .
