London, July 10 (IANS) Top seed Novak Djokovic from Serbia reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon, beating David Goffin from Belgium 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 on Wednesday.

As the defending champion, Djokovic was tipped to take the Grand Slam title by most tennis celebrities, including 18-time Grand Slam winner Chris Evert from the United States, and Andre Agassi's coach Brad Gilbert, reports Xinhua news agency.
