Djokovic achieves another milestone with his 100th Wimbledon victory to join Navratilova and Federer
LONDON: Novak Djokovic became only the third player in Wimbledon history to reach 100 victories — after Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer — with his 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 win in the third round over Miomir Kecmanovic on Saturday. Djokovic, who has won seven of his 24 Grand Slam titles at the All England Club, took control by winning nine consecutive games from 3-3 in the first set on Centre Court against his Serbian compatriot en route to his latest milestone. "Any history that I make in my favorite tournament, I'm blessed," Djokovic said 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. 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," said Djokovic, 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. Navratilova, a nine-time Wimbledon singles champion, amassed 120 singles victories. Eight-time champion Federer reached 105 singles wins.

The crowd, already buzzing after the match, erupted into laughter and applause as the young Djokovic performed a now-familiar family routine — a fist-pumping dance that has become something of a tradition between the tennis great and his children.

As the camera panned to her, she delivered the playful dance with precision: fists pumping down, then side to side, then overhead — just as her father does on court. The Centre Court audience roared its approval. Live Events 'She's the master,' Djokovic said, smiling. 'It's a little tradition we have right now. Hopefully we can keep going so we can keep pumping more in Wimbledon.' — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) Djokovic becomes third player in history to hit 100 Wimbledon wins While Tara stole the spotlight with her charm, the occasion was momentous for her father. With a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 victory over fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic, Novak Djokovic became only the third player in Wimbledon history to record 100 singles match wins. The milestone places him behind only Martina Navratilova (120 wins) and Roger Federer (105 wins). Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, made a statement early by winning nine straight games from 3-3 in the opening set. He was nearly flawless in the first two sets, hitting 60 winners to just 19 unforced errors and firing 16 aces. 'I have enjoyed myself very much except maybe the last couple of games. Things got a bit complicated,' Djokovic said. Kecmanovic fought back late in the third set, but the 38-year-old held firm to close it out. A standout moment in the match came in the eighth game of the first set when Djokovic, poised for a break, lunged for a backhand volley at the net. The shot clipped past Kecmanovic down the line as Djokovic sprawled across the grass. Still on the ground, he turned to the crowd with a smile as Centre Court erupted. Still sliding, still splitting, still fighting Now playing his 20th Wimbledon, Djokovic remains one of the sport's most relentless competitors. '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. Up next, Djokovic will face No. 11 seed Alex de Minaur for a place in the quarterfinals. A potential semifinal clash with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner looms, and Djokovic will be hoping to avenge consecutive final losses at Wimbledon, including last year's defeat to Carlos Alcaraz.
