Novak Djokovic claims 100th Wimbledon win to storm into fourth round

London witnessed another remarkable achievement in the illustrious career of Novak Djokovic on Saturday evening. The 24-time Grand Slam champion secured his 100th career victory at Wimbledon, dispatching compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic with a commanding 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 performance at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

This significant milestone positions the sixth-seeded Serb just behind Roger Federer's men's all-time record of 105 wins at the grass-court Grand Slam. Djokovic's triumph also marks his 17th progression to the fourth round at Wimbledon, a feat that includes reaching the last 16 in all of the past eight editions of the tournament.

When informed of his century of wins at Wimbledon, a humble Djokovic responded, "Very historic, it sounds very nice, I’m very grateful, obviously privileged to be in the position that I am." He reiterated his enduring gratitude for tennis, stating, "Tennis made me who I am, has given me incredible things in life that I can experience. I try not to take anything for granted, particularly at this age, still going strong, still trying to compete with the young players and do some slides and some splits on the court and push myself to the limit."
