Novak Djokovic achieved a milestone by reaching the third round at Wimbledon for the 19th time, surpassing Roger Federer. This victory against Dan Evans marked his 99th total match win at Wimbledon. While not the most significant record compared to his 24 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic's accomplishment serves as a light-hearted jab at younger rivals Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Despite his achievements, Djokovic remains focused on winning more titles and reflected on the potential for future reflection with his former rivals after retirement.
"Nineteen times, that's a great stat. That's probably almost as much as Sinner and Alcaraz have years in their lives."
"I don't pause to reflect, to be honest. I don't have time. I would like to. But I think that's going to come probably when I set the racket aside and then sip margarita on the beach with Federer and Nadal and just reflect on our rivalry and everything."
"You have these kinds of days where everything goes your way."
