LONDON: Novak Djokovic swept into the Queen's Club quarter-finals and recorded his 799th career win with a 6-4, 6-1 demolition of Grigor Dimitrov on Thursday.

Djokovic needed only 65 minutes to crush world number five Dimitrov in the second round of the Wimbledon warm-up event.

In the last eight, the former world number one faces the winner of the all-French clash between Adrian Mannarino and Julien Benneteau.

If Djokovic is successful in his next match, the Serb will become only the 10th man in the Open era to join the 800-win club.
