Nole saved 1 break point and converted 1 break chance from 2 opportunities to win the 1^st set 6-3.

In the 2nd set, again, 1 break was enough for Djokovic as he did it after 8 chances, but the most important thing was that he didn’t allow Rune to break him again and won the set to take a 2-0 lead. In the 3^rd set, the Serbian broke his opponent’s serve twice and again saved 1 break chance to finish the match without losing his serve and to advance to the last 8 at Wimbledon as that will be Nole’s 15^th quarterfinal at the tournament.
