Wimbledon 2025 – Novak Djokovic reaches round four in style in pursuit of 25th major
At his 20th Championships appearance and 20 years after his debut, Djokovic has reached the magic century of victories and now holds a 100-12 record at SW19.
He is just the third singles player in tennis history to achieve the feat, joining 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer and 18-time major winner Martina Navratilova.
“I did enjoy myself, except maybe the last couple of games,” Djokovic said on court post-match. “Tennis has made me who I am, I try not to take anything for granted, particularly at this age, still going strong…I feel blessed.”
It was plain sailing for the world number six, who registered his first bagel (a 6-0 scoreline) of the Grand Slam season and sealed the win in an hour and 47 minutes.
But if Djokovic had to be summed up in one point, refer to the moment when he was at deuce at 4-3 up in the first set. A diving backhand winner after angled dropshots and a tweener from Kecmanović brought Centre Court to its feet in pure awe.
