On July 5, Novak Djokovic made history by surpassing Roger Federer's long-standing record, reaching the quarter-finals of the 2026 Wimbledon Championships. The Serbian tennis star triumphed over Roman Safiullin from Russia in a four-set match, winning with scores of 7-6, 6-3, 3-6, and 6-3 at the prestigious Centre Court of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. This victory marks Djokovic's 106th win at Wimbledon, the only grass court Grand Slam of the year. After facing a setback in the first set and saving a set point, he secured a tie-break win, followed by a dominant performance in the second set. Although he dropped the third set, Djokovic quickly regained his momentum.
