Novak Djokovic recorded his 100th win at Wimbledon with a dominant victory over Serbian Davis Cup teammate Miomir Kecmanovic on Saturday to remain on course for a record 25th Grand Slam title.

Two-year Slam drought 

Djokovic said before a ball was struck at the All England Club this year that Wimbledon presented his best chance to surpass the 24 majors won by the Australian Margaret Court. A seven-time champion in south-west London, Djokovic is showing he is a credible contender for his first Slam victory since 2023. 
The 38-year-old has dropped just 12 games in his last two matches after romping to a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 victory in just under two hours against his 49th-ranked opponent. 

Djokovic’s 100 wins puts 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 of the players. I’ve been so blessed to win here many times and any history I make here at my favourite tournament, I am blessed,” said Djokovic.
