WATCH: Novak Djokovic Daughter's Viral Dance Moment After His 100th Wimbledon Win
Tennis icon Novak Djokovic has added another milestone to his legendary career. He became only the third player in Wimbledon history to reach 100 match wins, joining the elite company of Martina Navratilova (120 wins) and Roger Federer (105 wins).
Dominant Win Seals Century
Djokovic reached the historic mark with a commanding third-round victory over fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic, winning 6-3, 6-0, 6-4. The seven-time Wimbledon champion looked in complete control as he secured his place in the next round, where he will face world No. 11 Alex de Minaur.
A Heartwarming Moment: Daughter Dances, Crowd Cheers
Following the match, as Djokovic addressed the crowd with gratitude—calling Wimbledon his “favourite tournament”—his young daughter surprised everyone with an impromptu dance beside him.
The adorable moment had Djokovic laughing and drew a round of applause from the Centre Court audience, making it one of the most heartwarming scenes of the tournament so far.

Djokovic’s Wimbledon Legacy
This marks Djokovic’s 20th Wimbledon appearance, and his track record at the All England Club is nothing short of extraordinary. He has won 7 of his 24 Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and has only been defeated once in the past 8 years—by Carlos Alcaraz in 2023.
A Historic Opportunity Awaits
At 38 years old, Djokovic is chasing more than just another trophy. A win at this year’s Wimbledon would not only give him his eighth title, equalling Federer's record, but also make him the oldest men’s singles champion in the Open Era. Given his form and legacy, history is within striking distance.
Djokovic: Master of Slams
Last month, Djokovic also secured his 100th match win at Roland Garros, making him and Federer the only men to win 100+ matches at two different Grand Slam events.
Djokovic has 10 Australian Open titles and sits at 99 match wins there, meaning he’s on the verge of yet another record. At the US Open, he has claimed 4 titles with 90 wins so far.
