Tennis icon Novak Djokovic has achieved another remarkable milestone at Wimbledon, securing his 100th singles match victory at the prestigious grass-court Grand Slam. The seven-time champion defeated his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets on Saturday (July 5, 2025), a commanding 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 performance that propelled him into the fourth round of The Championships.
A Century of Wins at SW19
Djokovic’s dominant display against Kecmanovic marked his 100th match win at Wimbledon, a feat achieved by only two other singles players in the Open Era: Roger Federer (105 wins) and Martina Navratilova (120 wins). This places the Serbian legend in an elite club, further solidifying his place in tennis history. He also now holds 100+ wins at two different Grand Slams, having previously achieved the same at Roland Garros (101 wins).
Clinical Performance on Centre Court
The match on Centre Court saw Djokovic in formidable form, particularly after an initial tight start. After being level at 3-3 in the first set, Djokovic shifted gears, winning nine consecutive games to take control of the match. He showcased his trademark precision and defensive prowess, frustrating Kecmanovic with an array of deft volleys and powerful groundstrokes. Despite a brief wobble late in the third set, where Kecmanovic managed to break his serve, Djokovic swiftly regained composure to close out the match in just under two hours.
Looking Ahead to the Fourth Round
With this significant victory, Djokovic advances to the fourth round for the 17th time in his Wimbledon career. He is now set to face the Australian 11th seed, Alex de Minaur, in what promises to be a challenging encounter. Djokovic acknowledged De Minaur’s speed and all-around game, stating that it would be “a great test” of his current form against a top player.
Beyond the 100-win milestone, Djokovic is keenly focused on securing his eighth Wimbledon title, which would equal Roger Federer’s record at the All England Club. A victory here would also mark his 25th Grand Slam singles title, extending his all-time men’s record. As the tournament progresses, all eyes will be on Djokovic to see if he can continue his pursuit of more historic achievements.
