Novak Djokovic booked his place in the semifinals at Wimbledon on Wednesday, while Roger Federer‘s run at the tournament came to an end. In the women’s draw, top two seeds Ashleigh Barty and Aryna Sabalenka advanced to the last four, as did Karolina Pliskova and Angelique Kerber.
Here are the best stats from the quarterfinals action at The Championships:

Djokovic’s 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics is his 100th career tour-level grass court win. The Serb joins Federer (192), Andy Murray (110) and Serena Williams (107) as the only active players to win at least 100 tour-level matches on grass.

Federer’s 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-0 loss to Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz is just his third career straight-sets loss at Wimbledon. The previous two were against Yevgeny Kafelnikov in 2000 and against Mario Ancic in 2002.
This was also Federer’s third time losing a set 6-0 in a Grand Slam. The previous two were against Rafael Nadal in the 2008 French Open and against Patrick Rafter in the 1999 French Open.

The number of games Federer won in his loss to Hurkacz, tied for the fourth-fewest games won by him in a Grand Slam match.
The others are four games (2008 French Open vs. Nadal), seven games (2001 US Open vs. Andre Agassi), eight games (2000 Australian Open vs. Arnaud Clement) and nine games (2002 French Open vs. Hicham Arazi, 2019 French Open vs. Nadal).

Sabalenka’s 6-4, 6-3 win over Ons Jabeur, which put her into her first career Grand Slam semifinal, is her 34th tour-level match win this season, breaking a tie with Jabeur for the most wins on the women’s tour this season.
