Djokovic Reaches 100 Wimbledon Wins, Eyes 25th Grand Slam Title
London, United Kingdom | July 6, 2025 – IDNN Tennis Desk
Seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic has hit another historic milestone, becoming only the third player in history to win 100 matches at the prestigious grass-court tournament.
The 38-year-old Serb delivered a ruthless performance against compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, cruising to a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 win in just 1 hour and 50 minutes in their third-round clash.
“Wimbledon is my dream tournament. To reach 100 wins here is a blessing,” Djokovic said in his on-court interview.
“Every match here brings me closer to history.”
Only Federer and Navratilova Ahead
With 100 wins, Djokovic joins an elite club:
-
Roger Federer (105 wins – men’s record)
-
Martina Navratilova (120 wins – overall record)
-
Novak Djokovic (100 wins – and counting)
Djokovic also remains in hot pursuit of an even more monumental achievement—a record 25th Grand Slam title, which would make him the most decorated player in tennis history, surpassing Margaret Court (24) and Serena Williams (23).
Flawless Performance, Unshakable Control
Djokovic’s serve was impeccable. He faced just one break point in the entire match and neutralized Kecmanovic’s aggression with relentless baseline defense and sharp returns.
The crowd at Centre Court roared during a third-set rally that ended with Djokovic sprawled on the turf after a backhand winner—a point that earned a standing ovation and a grin from the Serb.
“There’s no hole in his game. He’s relentless,” said former British No.1 Tim Henman.
Victory Dance for His Daughter
After the match, Djokovic celebrated with his signature victory dance, now a tradition he shares with his daughter, who was seated in the coaching box. The crowd applauded as he pointed to her and recreated the move during his post-match interview.
Djokovic later signed a camera lens with the words:
“100 and counting. History still in play.”
Next Stop: De Minaur
Djokovic will now face Alex de Minaur, the 11th seed from Australia, in the fourth round. If he progresses, a potential semi-final with World No. 1 Jannik Sinner looms—one of the few players to defeat Djokovic in 2024.
Djokovic has not lost to anyone other than Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon since 2017.
IDNN VERDICT:
At 38, Djokovic is proving that greatness isn’t aging—it’s evolving. With his eyes on Slam No. 25 and Federer’s crown, Wimbledon 2025 may yet be his most historic run.
