Novak Djokovic won the longest quarterfinal in Wimbledon<\/a> history on Wednesday over Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime, but not without some drama.<\/p>\n

Djokovic, 39, rallied to a 7-6 (12-10), 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (7-4), 7-6 (10-4) victory to defeat Auger-Aliassime in a thrilling match that lasted 5 hours, 15 minutes. The match needed no extra flair, but the tennis<\/a> legend added some fireworks by arguing with tournament supervisor Denise Parnell about the roof.<\/p>\n

Parnell thought the evening conditions warranted closing the roof following the second set, but Djokovic wanted to keep the roof open.<\/p>\n

“You don\u2019t want to get to 8.30pm? It\u2019s 7.40pm now. We can play a whole another set outdoors. We\u2019re an outdoor tournament,” Djokovic told Parnell.<\/p>\n

“The other day you didn\u2019t want to close it until 8.30pm. Now you want to close it.”<\/p>\n

Parnell appeared to bring up Jannik Sinner\u2019s match from the other night, but Djokovic would not hear it.<\/p>\n

“With Jannik, I don\u2019t care what happens in his matches. I\u2019m talking about our match right now,” Djokovic said. “You remember the first round, you didn\u2019t close it until like 8.20pm. Now you want to close it at 7.40pm. Where\u2019s the consistency?<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re so proud of your rules and you\u2019re not sticking to any kind of rules. You have no idea what the rule is.”<\/p>\n

After Djokovic\u2019s remark about the rules, the official announcement was made that the roof would be closed.<\/p>\n

Auger-Aliassime appeared to agree with Djokovic and asked, “So, for sure we close now?” in the middle of Djokovic\u2019s argument with Parnell.<\/p>\n

Despite not getting the third set outdoors, Djokovic won it 6-3. With his victory over Auger-Aliassime, he became the oldest man to reach the Wimbledon semifinals in more than 50 years.<\/p>\n

The 24-time Grand Slam champion will face Sinner,<\/a> the defending champion, on Friday on Centre Court.<\/p>\n
