Novak Djokovic just leveled up his Wimbledon legacy 🌱, cruising past Dan Evans 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 to secure his 19th third-round appearance at the tournament – a new men’s Open Era record! 🏆 The 37-year-old tennis icon now surpasses Roger Federer’s 18 third-round entries, proving age is just a number (and a punchline).
🔥 By the numbers: With 99 Wimbledon wins and 24 Grand Slam titles under his belt, Djokovic joked about his new milestone: "That’s probably almost as much as Sinner and Alcaraz have years in their lives." (Sorry, Gen Z rivals! 😜)
Despite the dominant scoreline, the match had its drama. Djokovic missed his first nine break points before finally clinching the first set. Cue the victory arms ✌️ – and a ruthless streak where he won 5 of 6 break points afterward.
When asked about reflecting on his career, Djokovic kept it real: "I don’t have time… that’ll come when I sip margaritas on the beach with Federer and Nadal." 🍹 For now, he’s laser-focused on chasing Grand Slam #25. 👑
