Djokovic joins Federer in exclusive Wimbledon men's club
Djokovic is now just five wins behind Wimbledon's only other male centurion, his great rival Roger Federer on 105 match victories. Milestone met. The journey continues… Novak Djokovic has become just the 3rd player to record 100 match-wins at Wimbledon, after 9-time champion Martina Navratilova and 8-time champion Roger Federer 🌱#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 5, 2025 'Very historic, it sounds very nice,' he said. 'Tennis made me who I am, it has given me incredible things in life so I try not to take anything for granted, especially at my age and trying to compete with the younger players. 'Wimbledon is a favourite tournament, not just for myself but for most players. Any history I make at my favourite tournament, I'm blessed.' Apart from being broken when he served for the match, it was a pretty routine display for the seven-time champion, although one spectacular diving backhand volleyed winner after a lung-busting rally will make the highlights reel. Novak Djokovic, left, hugs compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic (Mike Egerton/PA) 'It was kind of like an ecstasy, to be honest, in that moment,' added Djokovic. 'Yeah, I was super, super happy. It came at a really important moment as well. I think 4-3, deuce, long point. 'We both were running around each other, around the whole court. Then just that diving backhand volley down-the-line passing shot. Can't wait to see the highlights.' That shot thrilled the Saturday SW19 crowd and a host of sports glitterati in the Royal Box including Sir Geoff Hurst, Sir Steve Redgrave and Lord Botham. The Centre Court punters could be forgiven for feeling a little short-changed, however, after three one-sided contests. Certainly the 11pm curfew was never in danger after Jannik Sinner dropped just five games against Pedro Martinez and Iga Swiatek beat Danielle Collins in straight sets, before Djokovic disposed of his 25-year-old countryman in an hour and 47 minutes. Djokovic, bidding for a record 25th grand slam title, will face Australian 11th seed Alex De Minaur in his 17th appearance in the last 16 at Wimbledon.
