Djokovic Hits 99th Wimbledon Win, Breaks Federer Third-Round Record

Novak Djokovic, the seven-times Wimbledon champion and 24-time Grand Slam winner, displayed dominant form to defeat Britain's Dan Evans 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 in the second round of Wimbledon 2025, advancing to the third round. Djokovic, at age 38, was nearly flawless on serve and overwhelmed Evans with 46 winners, surpassing Roger Federer’s record for the most men’s singles third-round appearances at Wimbledon with 19. Despite Evans’ skillful use of slice and net play, Djokovic’s tactical and technical execution left no room for an upset, as Evans struggled particularly in the latter sets. Djokovic acknowledged the challenging atmosphere of facing a home favorite but emphasized his preparation and focus from the start. This victory marked Djokovic’s 99th win at Wimbledon, and he is now set to face fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic, with a chance to record his 100th match win at the tournament. Djokovic expressed his deep affection for Wimbledon, calling it the most special tournament in his heart and reflecting on his long and successful career.
