In a new demonstration of his dominance, Novak Djokovic added a new record to his impressive list of achievements by reaching the third round of Wimbledon for the nineteenth time. The Serbian achieved this feat after defeating Dan Evans with a score of 6-3, 6-2 and 6-0 on the tournament’s center court. This victory represents Djokovic’s 99th triumph at Wimbledon. Furthermore, his 19 appearances in the third round place him above Roger Federer, setting a new record in the Open Era. Although this record is not the most prestigious for Djokovic, who holds 24 Grand Slam titles, including seven at Wimbledon, it allows him to joke about his young rivals.
Djokovic, at 38 years old, referred to Carlos Alcaraz, who defeated him in the last two Wimbledon finals, and Jannik Sinner, the world number one, who are 22 and 23 years old respectively. The growing rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz, especially after their final at Roland Garros, has propelled tennis beyond the era of the “Big Three.” Djokovic is the only one still active, following the retirement of Federer and Nadal. Djokovic, focused on winning another Grand Slam, doesn’t stop to reflect on his achievements at Wimbledon.Nineteen times, it’s a great statistic. It’s probably almost the number of years Sinner and Alcaraz have in their lives.

In the match against Evans, Djokovic failed to convert his first nine break points in the first set. However, once he managed to break serve to lead 5-3, his performance improved significantly, capitalizing on five of six remaining break points.I don’t take breaks to reflect, to be honest. I don’t have time. I would like to, but I think that will come when I leave the racket and then have a margarita on the beach with Federer and Nadal and reflect on our rivalry and everything.

In the men’s bracket, Alex de Miñaur, eleventh seed, eliminated Arthur Cazaux with a score of 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 and 6-0. Grigor Dimitrov, nineteenth seed, defeated Corentin Moutet with partials of 7-5, 4-6, 7-5 and 7-5.You have these kinds of days when everything goes your way. Everything flows.
