Djokovic 100 not out, into fourth round at Wimbledon
Novak Djokovic recorded his 100th win at Wimbledon with a dominant victory over Serbian Davis Cup team-mate Miomir Kecmanovic on Saturday to remain on course for a record 25th Grand Slam title.
Djokovic said before a ball was struck at the All England Club this year that Wimbledon presented his best chance to surpass the 24 majors won by the long-retired Australian Margaret Court.
A seven-time champion in south-west London, Djokovic is showing he is a credible contender for his first Slam victory since 2023.
The 38-year-old has dropped just 12 games in his last two matches after romping to a 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 victory in just under two hours on court.
Djokovic's 100 wins puts him behind only Roger Federer's 105 victories in the men's game and nine-time winner Martina Navratilova's all-time record of 120.
Conserving his energy could prove vital in the second week with Djokovic likely to have to beat both the world's top two players, Jannik Sinner and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, if he is to lift the trophy on July 13.
He faces Australian 11th seed Alex de Minaur in the fourth round.
