Novak Djokovic achieved his 100th win at Wimbledon with a commanding victory over Serbian Davis Cup team-mate Miomir Kecmanovic on Saturday, maintaining his pursuit of a record 25th Grand Slam title. Before this year’s tournament began, Djokovic expressed that Wimbledon offered his best chance to surpass the 24 majors won by the retired Australian, Margaret Court.

A seven-time champion in south-west London, Djokovic is proving to be a strong contender for his first Slam victory since 2023. At 38 years old, he has lost just 12 games in his last two matches, following a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 win in under two hours on court.

Djokovic’s 100 wins place him behind only Roger Federer’s 105 victories in the men’s game and nine-time winner Martina Navratilova’s all-time record of 120.

“Wimbledon is the dream tournament of most players. I’ve been blessed to win here many times and any history I make at my favourite tournament, I am blessed," said Djokovic, who secured his first match win at the All England Club 20 years ago.

“I try not to take anything for granted, especially at this age. Still going strong, trying to compete with the young players, doing some slides and splits, and pushing myself to the limit."

With his children Stefan, 10, and Tara, seven, watching, Djokovic celebrated by pumping his arms in a manner that has become customary during the tournament’s opening week.

“It’s a little tradition we have now, so hopefully, we can keep going and keep pumping more at Wimbledon," added Djokovic as Tara showcased her dance moves from the players’ box.

Conserving his energy could be crucial in the second week, with Djokovic likely needing to defeat both the world’s top two players, Jannik Sinner and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, to lift the trophy on July 13.

He will face Australian 11th seed Alex de Minaur in the fourth round.
