Roger Federer reached a record-extending 17th Wimbledon quarter-final as young Italian Matteo Berrettini was overwhelmed on Centre Court.
The Swiss great, bidding for a ninth title, needed just an hour and 14 minutes to seal a 6-1 6-2 6-2 win.
With 32-year-old Djokovic and 33-year-old Nadal safely through, Federer matched them to become the fifth man aged in his thirties to reach the quarter-finals at the All England Club in 2019.
Nine over-30s reached the last 16 - the highest tally at a Grand Slam in the Open era - with unseeded American Sam Querrey, 31, and Spain's 23rd seed Roberto Bautista Agut, 31, also advancing to the last eight on Monday.
