Earlier this record was in the name of Roger Federer, who had achieved the feat of reaching this position 18 times. Djokovic has now left Federer behind in this matter. Djokovic reached the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in 2005. After this he repeated this feat almost every year. Only in 2008 was he eliminated from the tournament after losing in the second round. Apart from this, on all other occasions he has made it to the third round.
Records made in many Grand Slams also
Not only Wimbledon, Djokovic has now also become the first player to reach the third round 20 or more times in a Grand Slam tournament. This achievement also reflects his consistent performance and fitness. Another special thing is that even after 21 years of reaching the third round for the first time, he is continuously playing matches at the same level. His name has reached the top in the list of players who have consistently performed well in Grand Slams for such a long period.
Special record made after 58 years
This year, Djokovic made another record in his name by reaching the third round in all three Grand Slams, Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon. At 58, he has become the oldest player to make it to the third round of these three major tournaments in the same year. This year, he reached the finals in the Australian Open, while his campaign in the French Open ended in the third round. Now in Wimbledon too, he has strengthened his claim by reaching the third round.
Eyes on eighth Wimbledon title
This time Novak Djokovic has come on the court with the intention of winning the eighth Wimbledon title of his career.
