Novak Djokovic has continued his bid for history at Wimbledon this year after reaching the fourth round.
Djokovic beat his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets to confirm his place in the second week of Wimbledon once again.
Despite being the sixth seed, Djokovic was thought to have sent a message to Jannik Sinner with his latest performance at SW19.
Sinner and Alcaraz are the top contenders for Wimbledon this year, and former world number 11 Sam Querrey has given his verdict on Djokovic’s chances at the grass court major.

Djokovic has only dropped one set en route to reaching the fourth round of Wimbledon this year, with that coming in his first round match against Alexandre Muller.
When discussing Djokovic’s chances on the Nothing Major Podcast, the aforementioned Querrey admitted that he is starting to think that the Serbian might win the Wimbledon title this year.
“Is he going to win this? The more I watch him the more I think Novak is winning this,” said Querrey. “I think he is going to give every ounce of energy that is in his body is going to be left on the court at this tournament and I think he is winning it.
“He is in one of those happy moods too. You see him joking around with the family. He is dangerous. That’s a good sign.”
Querrey’s podcast co-host and former world number 21 Steve Johnson has also been impressed by Djokovic’s performances at Wimbledon so far.
Johnson in particular pointed out how efficient Djokovic had been so far, suggesting that he was looking to reserve energy for potential matches against Sinner and Alcaraz.
“He looks insane. He looks good,” said Johnson. “He is taking care of business. He is being very economical on himself, on his body. Because he is going to get to the point where it looks like he is going to have to beat Jannik and then Carlos.
“He is going to have to beat both of these guys on his way to this title. It is hard to count Novak out. I feel like I have done it and that is a mistake in past tournaments and what not.
“But on the grass and the way he moves, I don’t think there is going to be a four or five hour crazy match on there on this surface for him so he has got a chance and he looks really good and really focused.”
Who is standing in the way of Novak Djokovic and the Wimbledon title?
Wimbledon is seen by many as Djokovic’s best chance to win a record 25th Grand Slam title.
Djokovic is a seven-time Wimbledon champion, and is now just four match wins away from equalling Roger Federer’s eight titles.
However, some of the potential threats lurking in his half include Sinner and Marin Cilic, with Alcaraz a potential final opponent.
Before he can think about any of those names Djokovic will need to focus on his next opponent Alex de Minaur.
Djokovic leads the head-to-head against De Minaur, but did suffer a straight sets defeat to the Australian just last year.
