Novak Djokovic proved age is just a number (again!) as he battled back from a rocky start to defeat Alex de Minaur 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 at Wimbledon. The 38-year-old tennis legend, chasing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title, turned the match around like a true GOAT 🐐 after dropping the first set. Talk about *drama* under the London clouds!
The Comeback King 👑
With Roger Federer himself watching from the Royal Box, Djokovic flipped the script after a chilly, error-filled opener. 'I just reset myself,' he said post-match, downplaying his clutch performance. But de Minaur summed it up best: 'He’s been pretty good in big moments for a very long time.' Understatement of the century? 😏
Next Challenge Ahead 🚀
Djokovic now faces Italy’s Flavio Cobolli, who’s fresh off his first major quarterfinal win. Can the Serbian superstar keep defying Father Time? If Monday’s match taught us anything, it’s this: Never count out the guy with seven Wimbledon trophies already in his cabinet. 🏆✨
