Djokovic is approaching the 25th Grand Slam title-rivals!

Djokovic is approaching the 25th Grand Slam title-rivals!

After 19 years on the professional tennis stage, Novak Djokovic shows no sign of fatigue. At this year's Wimbledon event, he won his 99th victory and thus set a new record. Djokovic competed against the British Dan Evans, who had come to the tournament with a wildcard. In the first sentence, the Serb had some difficulties, but ultimately he prevailed.

The spectators in Great Britain felt the special atmosphere that a match brings against a British player. Djokovic appreciated the support of the audience and let his humor run free by noticing that his competitors Carlos Alcaraz (22) and Jannik Sinner (23) are probably as old as the years he plays. These two are among his biggest challengers in the race around the 25th Grand Slam title.

The way to the next game

With his victory, Djokovic is now announcing the next duel against his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic. The Serb was a finalist at the Grand Slam tournaments in 2023 and 2024 and wants to continue his course of success in order to further expand its dominance in tennis.

In recent history, Jannik Sinner also made a name for himself. The young Italian almost won three consecutive Grand Slam tournaments as the third player of the Open ERA. He reached the final at the French Open 2025 after Siegen at the US Open 2024 and the Australian Open 2025. Sinner nevertheless lost the final after a spectacular five-set match against Carlos Alcaraz, which ultimately triumphed.

historical success in tennis

to clarify the context, only five men have won three majors in a row since the beginning of the open era in 1968:

• Rod Laver-1969 (only player with a calendar grand slam)
• Pete Sampras-1993-1994
• Roger Federer-2005-2006/2006-2007
• Rafael Nadal - 2010
• Novak Djokovic - four times, most recently 2021

Djokovic even won four Grand slams in a row, but not in a calendar year. Nevertheless, the hunt for records and titles remains a central topic for him and his rivals in tennis. The tension and drama on the square accompany the elite of tennis, whereby the coming weeks could be decisive for everyone involved. The current developments can be read on Kleine Zeitung.
