Novak Djokovic delivered a masterclass on Center Court, securing his 100th Wimbledon match win with a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 triumph over fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic.
The 38-year-old, competing in his 20th Wimbledon, blitzed his way with nine consecutive games from 3-3 in the first set and finished with 60 winners, 16 aces, and just 19 unforced errors.
"Any history that I make in my favorite tournament, I'm blessed," Djokovic reflected on court after joining an elite group that includes Martina Navratilova (120 wins) and Roger Federer (105 wins).
With seven of his 24 Grand Slam titles claimed at Wimbledon, Djokovic now eyes Alex de Minaur in the fourth round and could face world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the semifinals. He'll look to avenge his last two final defeats to Carlos Alcaraz, adding an extra edge to his 2024 campaign.
The highlight came in the eighth game of the opening set: a diving backhand volley at the fourth deuce that skidded past Kecmanovic down the line—capped by a signature smile and wave to the cheering crowd.
As Djokovic chases an eighth Wimbledon crown, this 100-win milestone is more than a number. It's proof that at 38, he remains one of sport's most relentless competitors, blending power, precision, and poise under pressure.
