Novak Djokovic reached his first Grand Slam semi-finals with a four-set victory over Japan’s Kei Nishikori on Wednesday. The Serbian tennis star became a serious Wimbledon title contender since 2015.

“I think the first warning was unnecessary. It didn’t harm the grass. Kei did the same in the fourth set but wasn’t warned. The umpire said he didn’t see. I don’t think it’s fair but it is what it is,” said Djokovic, who is in the last four in London for the eighth time.

“It’s great to be in the semifinals. I built this result little by little since the season on clay. It went better and better. It’s not the first time I’m in the semi-finals here, but I’m going to appreciate it.” Djokovic added.

Djokovic insists on the setback of Nishikori who ends up making the mistake. The Serb wins the first set of this quarterfinal. Despite a break in the middle set, he has pressed the accelerator to win the last three games.

Nishikori relies on a very good first exterior to conclude the second set with a winning forehand on the other side. The Japanese had a tricky run before taking over Djokovic who made a lot of mistakes.
