Is anyone going to even lay a glove on Novak Djokovic in the next few days?

Though nothing is ever certain in sport, a sixth Wimbledon final for Djokovic feels almost like an inevitability - so much so that few would accuse him of misplaced arrogance were he to have already blocked out 2pm on Sunday in his diary.

Djokovic's latest victim was the fresh-faced Frenchman Ugo Humbert, who resembled a work experience lad sent to shadow the company boss for the day. By the end of a breezy 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 victory, Djokovic had treated the 21 year old Humbert to his full repertoire of tricks - including a backhand lob, searing return winners, and even a dive volley that his former coach Boris Becker would have been proud of.

Djokovic has now lost just one set in reaching an 11th Wimbledon quarter-final, with his grand-slam matches increasingly as surgical and one-sided a spectacle as watching Manchester City at home against a mid-table Premier League team. In fact his toughest adversary so far has probably been the reporter who took him to task over his relationship with former ATP board member Justin Gimelstob.

It's tough to see too much deviation from the pattern against David Goffin in Wednesday's quarter-final, or in the projected semi against either Guido Pella or Roberto Bautista Agut. All of those three are ranked outside the world’s top 20 and all possess losing records against Djokovic. Though this is hardly surprising when you consider that the only significant player with a winning head-to-head against Djokovic is the long-departed Nick Kyrgios.
