Novak Djokovic has achieved a monumental milestone at Wimbledon, securing his 100th win at the prestigious tournament, a feat charmingly celebrated by his daughter, Tara.
Joining an Elite Club
Novak Djokovic has etched his name further into tennis history, becoming only the third player ever to reach 100 singles wins at Wimbledon. This incredible achievement places him in an elite group alongside Roger Federer, who holds 105 wins, and Martina Navratilova, the record holder with 120 victories.
For Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, this milestone underscores his enduring dominance on the grass courts. He now aims to equal Federer’s record of eight titles at the iconic tournament.
The Path to a Century of Wins
The historic 100th victory came in the third round against fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic. Djokovic put on a masterful display, winning convincingly with a score of 6-3, 6-0, 6-4.
This win means Djokovic now boasts a century of victories at two different Grand Slams: Wimbledon and Roland Garros. He’s also incredibly close to reaching 100 wins at the Australian Open, currently standing at 99.
Tara’s Delightful ‘Pump It Up’ Dance
While Djokovic was busy making history on Centre Court, his seven-year-old daughter, Tara, stole the hearts of spectators. From the stands, she performed an adorable “Pump It Up” victory dance that brought a wide smile to her father’s face.
Djokovic later explained that this lively dance is a sweet family tradition they share. He even invited Tara to demonstrate it for the crowd, who erupted in applause for her charming performance.
A Moment of Pure Brilliance
Beyond the milestone win and family celebration, the match itself featured a highlight-reel moment from Djokovic. In the first set, he executed an incredible diving backhand volley winner at the net.
The stunning shot sailed past Kecmanovic, earning Djokovic a crucial break and a huge round of applause from the appreciative crowd. It was a clear demonstration that even at 38, Djokovic continues to push the limits of his athleticism.
Chasing More History
Reflecting on his achievement, Djokovic expressed his gratitude for making history at what he calls his favorite tournament. He acknowledged the challenge of competing with younger players but affirmed his commitment to pushing himself to the limit.
His journey continues, as he now faces No. 11 Alex de Minaur for a spot in the quarterfinals. The ultimate goal remains clear: matching Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles.
