WATCH: Novak Djokovic's epic diving volley, his daughter's lovely post-match celebration after Serb becomes third player with 100 wins at Wimbledon
Djokovic reached the milestone with his 6-3 6-0, 6-4 win in the third round over Miomir Kecmanovic. The 24-time Grand Slam champion now has a century of wins at two Majors – Roland Garros and Wimbledon. While at his favourite Major, the Australian Open, Djokovic has 99 wins. Federer had 100+ wins at Wimbledon and Australian Open. The record for most wins at a Major by a male player, unsurprisingly, belongs to Rafa Nadal at Roland Garros where he had a whopping 112 wins.
Djokovic took control by winning nine consecutive games from 3-3 in the first set on Centre Court against his Serbian compatriot on Saturday, en route to his latest milestone. 'Any history that I make in my favorite tournament, I'm blessed,' said the sixth seed in an on-court interview. The 38-year-old Djokovic, playing in his 20th Wimbledon tournament, will next face No. 11 Alex de Minaur for a spot in the quarterfinals. Djokovic, who could potentially meet No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the semifinals, has lost the past two Wimbledon finals to Carlos Alcaraz.
While Djokovic was at his best on the grass, from the stands it was his 7-year-old daughter who really wowed Wimbledon. Tara Djokovic's victory dance on Saturday brought a smile to dad's face. Everybody else's, too. Djokovic had just clinched his 100th Wimbledon singles win and was asked during his on-court interview to shed light on the little dance he's been doing recently.
He said it's done to a song called 'Pump It Up.' 'There's a song with my kids — look my daughter's doing it right now,' a smiling Djokovic said as he looked into the crowd. 'You want to show it darling?' The TV camera then panned to Tara, who then showed everyone how it's done: pump your fists down, then left, right and overhead. The crowd roared.
'She's the master. It's a little tradition we have right now. Hopefully we can keep going so we can keep pumping more in Wimbledon.'
Celebrating with the ones who matter the most ♥️

Djokovic made just eight unforced errors through two sets and led 5-1 in the final set before Kecmanovic made him work for the victory. 'I have enjoyed myself very much except maybe the last couple of games. Things got a bit complicated,' he said, who finished with 60 winners and 19 unforced errors, along with 16 aces.
The highlight of the match came in the eighth game of the first set, with Djokovic looking to break. His diving backhand volley winner at the net on the fourth deuce sailed past Kecmanovic, who slumped his shoulders as he watched the ball land in down the line. On the ground, Djokovic smiled and soaked in the applause for a moment before going on to earn the key break.

'I try not to take anything for granted, particularly (at) this age, still going strong, still trying to compete with the young players and do some slides and some splits on the court, and push myself to the limit,' he said.

Wimbledon Line Technology Fails Again, But Taylor Fritz Reaches Semi-Final
Last Updated: Wimbledon's new line technology faced criticism during Taylor Fritz's quarter-final win over Karen Khachanov. Despite glitches, Fritz won 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6. Wimbledon's line technology system faced more criticism during Taylor Fritz's quarter-final win over Karen Khachanov on Tuesday. Swedish umpire Louise Azemar Engzell had to halt a point in the opening game of the fourth set on Court One when 'fault" was incorrectly called after a Fritz forehand landed well inside the baseline. The call of 'fault", rather than 'out", and the positioning of the ball suggested the system was still tracking Fritz's serve instead of the rally, forcing a replay of the point. Tournament organisers had expressed confidence on Sunday that they would avoid further issues with the technology after a significant error in Sonay Kartal's fourth-round defeat to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the women's draw. In that instance, the new system failed to call out when a shot by Kartal landed well behind the baseline. A fully automated system replaced human line judges at Wimbledon for the first time this year, following the example of the Australian Open and the US Open. However, several glitches and concerns have been raised by other players about the technology, including British stars Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper. How Taylor Fritz Did Win? Despite the controversy, Fritz reached his first Wimbledon semi-final after a hard-fought match, winning 6-3, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7/4). The fifth seed was on the brink of a first-round exit when he fell two sets down to Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and also was forced to five sets against Gabriel Diallo in round two. Fritz benefited from Jordan Thompson's early retirement in his fourth-round match and gathered his energy to withstand a fightback from Khachanov. One break of serve was sufficient for the American to secure the first two sets. Khachanov, who had won the two previous meetings between the players, responded at the start of the third set with a double break of Fritz's powerful serve. The Russian seemed poised to push Fritz to the limit again when he broke early in the fourth set. However, the world number five responded with a break in the fourth game and concluded his victory in just over two-and-a-half hours on a tie-break. Fritz will face the winner of defending champion Carlos Alcaraz's match against Britain's Cameron Norrie in the semi-final.

Wimbledon 2025: Aryna Sabalenka Stages Dramatic Comeback To Reach Semi-Finals
Last Updated: Aryna Sabalenka came back from behind to defeat Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals. Sabalenka aims for her fourth consecutive Grand Slam final. World number one Aryna Sabalenka pulled off a remarkable comeback to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals, defeating Germany's Laura Siegemund 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 on Tuesday. Sabalenka faced a tough challenge on Centre Court, trailing by a break twice in the final set and being just two games away from elimination. However, she staged a dramatic turnaround to secure victory in two hours and 54 minutes of intense play. The 27-year-old top seed has now reached the All England Club semi-finals for the third time, after previous appearances in 2021 and 2023. Having been beaten in the Australian and French Open finals this year, following her US Open win in 2024, Sabalenka is aiming for her fourth consecutive Grand Slam final. Sabalenka will compete against either American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova or Russian world number 50 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the final. She remains the only one of the top six women's seeds still standing after a tournament full of surprises. How Aryna Sabalenka Beat Laura Siegemund? The three-time Grand Slam champion nearly became another high-profile exit in this memorable encounter. World number 104 Siegemund, primarily known for her doubles success, was competing in just her second Grand Slam singles quarter-final. Her impressive performance kept Sabalenka off balance for much of the match. The 37-year-old Siegemund's unexpected run included a win over Australian Open champion Madison Keys in the third round. Sabalenka needed everything she had to avoid becoming Siegemund's latest upset. Siegemund's skilful use of slice backhands and drop-shots troubled Sabalenka, leading to two breaks in the first three games of the opening set. Sabalenka managed to break back in the fourth game but Siegemund regained control, securing a third break and serving out the set at the second attempt. It was the first set Sabalenka had dropped in this year's tournament. Rising to the challenge, Sabalenka increased the power of her groundstrokes, marked by loud shrieks of determination. Her aggressive play led to three breaks, allowing her to level the match and become the first player to take a set off Siegemund in the 2025 tournament. Siegemund capitalised on a series of errors to break in the third game of the deciding set, but Sabalenka fought back to level at 3-3. When Sabalenka double-faulted and made two unforced errors, Siegemund was close to reaching the semi-finals. However, Sabalenka refused to give in, breaking again and ultimately securing her victory with a roar of relief. First Published: July 08, 2025, 21:20 IST

Unkindest cut of all for Dimitrov; Sinner through to last eight
Monday (July 8, 2025) on Centre Court could have been special for Grigor Dimitrov. Watched on by the legendary Roger Federer – whose shot mechanics he closely mimics, including the pleasing, almost therapeutic, sound of the racquet striking the ball – he was up two sets (6-3,7-5) against World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. At the end of the second set, the roof was closed and lights switched on to lend the Bulgarian's brilliance an additional burst of radiance. That was when disaster struck, and Dimitrov, after serving an ace to level at 2-2 in the third set, went down, clenching his right pectoral muscle. A short medical time-out ensued but he withdrew on return to send the capacity crowd into mourning and the Italian into the quarterfinals. 'I don't take this as a win,' Sinner said during the on-court interview, which he returned to complete after respectfully walking a sobbing Dimitrov off the court. Sinner himself was troubled by a right-elbow injury following a fall and had an MRI on Tuesday (July 8, 2025). That, however, should take nothing away from Dimitrov, for whom the defeat will sting. It was his fifth straight retirement at Majors during what has otherwise been a glorious second wind. Once spoken of as a potential Slam champion, he struggled to break through the stranglehold established by Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. But in April 2024, he returned to the top-10 and maintained that place until January 2025. Even as the winds of change are sweeping through men's tennis, he is ranked 21 and is the second-oldest man in the singles top-25 after Djokovic. A throwback to a different era, he asks questions of new-age champions that they rarely encounter. Dimitrov, in fact, has beaten Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending Wimbledon champion, in two of their previous three meetings, with the Spaniard even quipping in Miami last year that he was made to 'feel like 13'. It would have been Sinner's turn to experience that, but for a lucky escape.
