Djokovic Sets Wimbledon Record with 106 Wins

Novak Djokovic has set a new benchmark at Wimbledon, becoming the most successful men's singles player in the tournament's history. The 39-year-old Serbian secured his 106th victory at the All England Club on Sunday, July 5, moving past the previous record of 105 wins held by his retired rival, Roger Federer.

Djokovic achieved the milestone with a hard-fought, four-set win over Russian qualifier Roman Safiullin, 7-6(6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, in a fourth-round match that lasted nearly three and a half hours. The victory also booked his place in a record-extending ninth consecutive Wimbledon quarterfinal. He will next face Canada's Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Safiullin, ranked outside the world's top 100, pushed Djokovic with aggressive baseline play, forcing the seven-time champion to save set points in a tense opening tiebreak. Djokovic later acknowledged the challenge, saying Safiullin started very well and aggressively, making it difficult to find a rhythm. He relied on precise serving and tactical adjustments to close out the match.
