Wimbledon Lookahead: No. 1 Djokovic Leads Top 4 Into QFs

LONDON — Novak Djokovic is developing a nasty habit of playing Grand Slam matches over two days.

He thinks his latest carried-over contest won't have any effect on him in the Wimbledon quarterfinals Wednesday.

The defending champion and No. 1 seed at the All England Club will be competing for a third day in a row when he faces No. 9 Marin Cilic for a berth in the semifinals.

That's because Djokovic's 6-7 (6), 6-7 (6), 6-1, 6-4, 7-5 victory over No. 14 Kevin Anderson began on Monday, was suspended because of darkness after four sets, and then resumed Tuesday.
