Djokovic Reaches Wimbledon Third Round 19th Time, Sets Record

Novak Djokovic has reached the third round of Wimbledon for a record 19th time after a dominant 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 victory over British wildcard Dan Evans. This marks Djokovic's 99th match win at Wimbledon, putting him ahead of Roger Federer for the most third-round appearances by any man in the Open Era. At 38 years old, Djokovic is the oldest player to claim a 6-0 set in men's singles at Wimbledon since 1991, showcasing his enduring competitiveness despite the rise of younger rivals like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Djokovic, who holds 24 Grand Slam titles including seven Wimbledon championships, is focused on winning a record 25th Grand Slam title rather than reflecting on his achievements. Despite recent losses at Wimbledon finals to Alcaraz and being considered less of a favorite, Djokovic remains confident in his chances and continues to pursue tennis history. He humorously noted that reflection might come only after retirement, perhaps while relaxing with Federer and Nadal.
