This victory marks his 64th Grand Slam quarter-final, extending his all-time record and keeping his pursuit of a 25th major title alive. Djokovic dominated the match, breaking Struff's serve six times, and was near untouchable on serve with 12 aces and winning 79% of first-serve points.

His next opponent will be American Taylor Fritz, against whom he holds a 10-0 head-to-head record. Djokovic’s win continues his impressive season, with 30 tour-level wins, and highlights his resilience and skill at the age of 38.
