At Wimbledon 2025, 38-year-old Serbian tennis legend Novak Djokovic has delivered a stellar performance on the court. On July 5th, he secured a straight-sets victory against his compatriot Miomir Kecmanović in the third round, adding another major achievement to his career.
Sports News: Serbian tennis great Novak Djokovic has achieved another historic milestone at Wimbledon 2025. The 38-year-old Djokovic defeated his fellow countryman Miomir Kecmanović, completing a century of wins at Wimbledon, making him only the third player in the world to achieve this feat.
In the third-round match played at the All England Club, Djokovic defeated Kecmanović 6-3, 6-0, 6-4. With this victory, he not only secured his place in the fourth round but also created a record of 100 wins in Wimbledon history.
Djokovic joins Navratilova, Federer in the club
Prior to Novak Djokovic, only two players have recorded 100 or more wins at Wimbledon — the great Martina Navratilova (120 wins) in the women's category and the legendary Roger Federer (105 wins) in the men's category. Now, Novak Djokovic has also added his name to this illustrious list.
Djokovic already has seven Wimbledon titles to his name and has been performing brilliantly at the All England Club for the past 8 years. During this time, he was defeated only once, last year in the final against Carlos Alcaraz.
Djokovic on his 100th win — 'It feels like home'
After his historic achievement, Novak said that Wimbledon is his favorite tournament. Every win here has been special for me. Completing 100 wins is the best moment of my career, and for this, I thank the court, the fans, and my family. This court feels like home to me. Looking at Djokovic's form, it seems like he is a b contender for the title this time as well. In the next round, he will face 11th-seeded Australian Alex de Minaur, who is known for his fast footwork and aggressive style.
Bhambri-Galloway pair also performs well
At Wimbledon 2025, India's Yuki Bhambri also performed brilliantly in doubles. Bhambri, along with his American partner Robert Galloway, has reached the pre-quarterfinals. The 16th-seeded pair of Bhambri-Galloway defeated Portugal's Nuno Borges and America's Marcos Giron 6-3, 7-6 (8-6). Even though India's representation in singles has been weak, Bhambri has raised hopes in doubles.
This feat of Novak Djokovic adds more shine to his list of 24 Grand Slam titles. His consistency and mental strength on the court at Wimbledon inspire tennis lovers around the world. Now the question is, can Djokovic win his eighth Wimbledon title in this tournament and equal Roger Federer's record? If Djokovic continues to play in this form, Federer's record is bound to be broken.
The match between Djokovic and de Minaur in the fourth round of Wimbledon is going to be very interesting. De Minaur's speed and aggression will test Djokovic's experience and patience.
