Novak Djokovic became the player with the most wins in Wimbledon men's singles history on Sunday, while Naomi Osaka produced one of the biggest upsets of the tournament to reach her first quarterfinal at the All England Club.

The 39-year-old Djokovic secured his 106th men's singles victory at Wimbledon by defeating Russian qualifier Roman Safiullin 7-6(6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in the fourth round, breaking the record of 105 wins he had shared with Roger Federer.

Despite suffering apparent eye discomfort during the match and receiving a warning for an audible obscenity, Djokovic recovered from a third-set lapse to book a quarterfinal meeting with Canada's third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime.

"Survive to thrive - that's how I feel," Djokovic said after the match. "Hopefully the thriving part is coming."

World No. 1 and defending champion Jannik Sinner also advanced comfortably, defeating Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki 6-3, 7-6(0), 6-3 to reach his fifth consecutive Wimbledon quarterfinal. The Italian will next face Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff.

In the women's draw, former world No. 1 Naomi Osaka stunned top seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-2, 7-6(2) to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time in her career.

The Japanese star outplayed the four-time Grand Slam champion throughout the contest, handing Sabalenka her earliest Grand Slam exit since the 2022 French Open and her first straight-sets defeat at a major in 122 matches.

"It's been a long time since I had so much fun on the court," Osaka said. "To do it here means a lot."

Osaka will face Czech 10th seed Karolina Muchova for a place in the semifinals after Muchova defeated defending champion Barbora Krejcikova. The result guarantees a different Wimbledon women's singles champion for the 10th consecutive tournament.

China's Wang Xinyu and Hsieh Su-wei of Chinese Taipei advanced to the women's doubles last 16, dispatching fourth seeds Zhang Shuai of China and Belgium's Elise Mertens 6-3, 4-6, 6-1 in the second round.

With the victory, Wang and Hsieh secured their second consecutive win over the pair this season, after coming from a set down to defeat Zhang and Mertens and reach the women's doubles last 16 at the Italian Open two months ago.

"We played exceptionally well today, especially with our baseline play, returns, and net game," Wang said after the match. "Our tactical execution during pivotal moments was spot-on. It was simple, we just focused on maximizing our respective strengths."

"Both of us covered the court incredibly well. Su-wei is outstanding from both the baseline and the net. As I gain more doubles experience, I'm becoming much more comfortable in both positions as well. This balance gives our partnership great resilience and allows for much more flexible tactical adjustments," Wang added.
