Novak Djokovic Equals Roger Federer’s Wimbledon Record, Reaches Fourth Round After Tough Win
Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic did not look as sharp as he would have liked, dropped a set, but still pulled through to the fourth round at Wimbledon on Friday, equalling Roger Federer’s record of most men’s singles matches won at the grass-court major.
Djokovic, the most successful player in the history of Grand Slam tennis, faced a fightback from Arthur Rinderknech at Centre Court before carving out a 7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4) third-round victory. With this, the Serbian former World No.1 has 105 singles wins at Wimbledon as the 39-year-old tied with Federer for the all-time record among men, with former WTA No. 1 Martina Navratilova (120) the only player boasting more.
