Novak Djokovic, the seven-time Wimbledon champion, made history on Day 4 of Wimbledon 2025 by surpassing Roger Federer’s record for the most men’s singles third-round appearances in the Open Era. With a dominant 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 win over British hopeful Daniel Evans, Djokovic secured his 99th career win at Wimbledon and his 19th third-round appearance, breaking Federer’s previous record of 18. This incredible feat highlights Djokovic’s unparalleled consistency and longevity at the All England Club.
Despite Evans’ aggressive net play, Djokovic showed why he is a Wimbledon legend. The 38-year-old Serbian controlled the match with precision, firing powerful shots and forcing Evans into numerous unforced errors. It wasn’t an easy start, though. After an early hiccup, Djokovic quickly regained his rhythm, winning the first set 6-3. From there, the Serbian maestro displayed his brilliance, racing through the second and third sets to seal the victory in straight sets.
“I’ve been playing quite a long time. Nineteen times, that’s a great stat,” Djokovic joked during his post-match interview. But beyond the humor, the 38-year-old was clear about what this milestone means to him: “Wimbledon remains the most special tournament in my heart, the one I always dreamed of winning as a kid. Any history made here is extra special for me.”
With 99 wins and only 12 losses at Wimbledon, Djokovic’s legacy at this iconic tournament is unmatched. His continued dominance on Centre Court proves that, even at 38, he is still a force to be reckoned with. The win over Evans was his latest statement, as he looks to add yet another Wimbledon title to his collection.
