Novak Djokovic Reaches 100-Win Milestone at Wimbledon
Novak Djokovic achieved a historic milestone at Wimbledon, securing his 100th career match win at the All England Club by defeating Miomir Kecmanovic. With the victory, Djokovic joins Roger Federer and Martina Navratilova as only the third player in history to register 100 wins at the prestigious tournament.

Unpacked:
Roger Federer holds the record for most Wimbledon match wins with 105, while Novak Djokovic is now second among men with 100 wins. Both have won seven Wimbledon titles and are the only men to achieve 100+ wins at two Grand Slam events. Federer also has 102 wins at the Australian Open, while Djokovic has surpassed 100 at Roland Garros and is close at the Australian Open.
Besides Djokovic and Federer, Rafael Nadal has over 100 match wins at Roland Garros (112). Among women, Martina Navratilova has 120 at Wimbledon, Chris Evert 101 at the US Open, and Serena Williams 108 at the US Open.
If Djokovic wins his eighth Wimbledon title, he would tie Roger Federer's record for most men's singles titles at Wimbledon. Additionally, at age 38, he would become the oldest player in the Open Era to win a men's singles Grand Slam title, further cementing his legacy at the tournament.
Djokovic has achieved 101 wins at Roland Garros and currently has 90 match wins at the US Open, where he has won four titles. At the Australian Open, he is just one win shy of 100, with a record 10 titles at that event.
