Novak Djokovic earns 105th match win at Wimbledon to equal Roger Federer record
Novak Djokovic secured his 105th match win at Wimbledon, tying Roger Federer's record for the most singles match victories at the tournament. He will advance to the fourth round to face Roman Safiullin.
Why it matters
This achievement marks a historic milestone in professional tennis, highlighting Djokovic's continued dominance in the sport.
Novak Djokovic saw Arthur Rinderknech falling toward the Centre Court net after a volley and said to himself “please stay down.” The Frenchman did — and 39-year-old Djokovic dove to hit a backhand volley winner on match point for a 7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) record-equaling victory in the third round at Wimbledon on Friday (July 3, 2026).
