LONDON, July 7 (Reuters) - A 商売/仕事-like Novak Djokovic 脅すd to short-change over 14,000 fans who had forked out 170 続けざまに猛撃するs ($234) for Wednesday's Centre 法廷,裁判所 tickets when, after only 19 minutes of 活動/戦闘, he stood on the cusp of bagging the first 始める,決める 6-0.

追跡するing 0-5 and 15-40 on serve, it seemed like Marton Fucsovics's first foray into a Grand 激突する 4半期/4分の1-final would be short and not very 甘い.

But somehow the 29-year-old 避けるd disappearing into a Wimbledon sinkhole for two hours and 17 minutes before Djokovic 押し進めるd him over the 辛勝する/優位 for a 6-3 6-4 6-4 勝利,勝つ that 安全な・保証するd him a place in the All England Club 半分-決勝戦 for a 10th time.

Playing in his 50th Grand 激突する 4半期/4分の1-final, Djokovic 記録,記録的な/記録するd a century of 小旅行する-level 勝利,勝つs on grass and his 315th victory at a major.

While such numbers might sound impressive, for Djokovic the only statistic that really 事柄s is that his dream of joining Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal on a 記録,記録的な/記録する 20 Grand 激突する 肩書を与えるs was still very much alive as was the chance of becoming the first man since 棒 Laver in 1969 to 完全にする the calendar 激突する.

"I am aware of 確かな stats, I love this sport with all my heart, 団体/死体 and soul have been 充てるd to it since I was four," said the world number one, who is bidding to 勝利,勝つ his third 連続した Wimbledon 肩書を与える, and sixth 全体にわたる.

"いつかs things do look surreal for me but I try to live in the moment and take every 適切な時期 I have on the 法廷,裁判所. Going for history is a 抱擁する inspiration for me, let's keep it going."

Fucsovics was also chasing history, which in 事例/患者 was to become the first Hungarian man to reach the Wimbledon 半分-決勝戦 since Jozsef Asboth in 1948.

As the 29-year-old 星/主役にするd into the abyss of 存在 wiped out in the 開始 始める,決める, a string of sloppy Djokovic errors not only 手渡すd Fucsovics a lifeline but he 突然に won three games in a 列/漕ぐ/騒動 to the delight of the (人が)群がる who raptur ously 拍手喝采する the セルビア人's misfiring 発射s.

Djokovic finally won the 開始 始める,決める at the sixth 試みる/企てる -- 23 minutes after 持つ/拘留するing his first 始める,決める point -- when the 肺ing Hungarian mis-攻撃する,衝突する a forehand long.

Fucsovics produced some gutsy 発射s to hang in with Djokovic till 4-4 in the second 始める,決める and even won a 肺-破産した/(警察が)手入れするing 27-発射 baseline 決起大会/結集させる that kept the fans on the 辛勝する/優位 of their seats.

The 成果/努力 of winning that 選び出す/独身 point, however, appeared to have sucked the life out of Fucsovics as two points later Djokovic broke for a 5-4 lead.

When Fucsovics banged a service return long to 降伏する the second 始める,決める, the 長引かせるd roar from Djokovic signalled that it was game over for the Hungarian.

"It was a solid 業績/成果," summed up Djokovic.

"I started 極端に 井戸/弁護士席, didn't do many things wrong in the first six games. One break of serve in the second and third 始める,決める was enough to clinch the victory - credit to Marton for fighting and hanging in there, he had a 広大な/多数の/重要な tournament."

In his 41st Grand 激突する 半分-final, the Serbian will 会合,会う Canadian 10th seed Denis Shapovalov.
