Novak Djokovic continues to chase Roger Federer's records, notching his 105th Wimbledon match win to reach the fourth round. The Serbian star, who eyes Federer's men's record of eight Wimbledon singles crowns, faced a tough challenge from France's Arthur Rinderknech.

Djokovic ultimately prevailed in a four-set match, winning 7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4) on Centre Court. This victory brings him closer to another significant milestone: a win against Roman Safiullin would place him second alone on the all-time Wimbledon match win list, trailing only Martina Navratilova's 120 victories.

Following his hard-fought win, Djokovic engaged in some lighthearted "dad dancing" with his daughter Tara.

He added, "Let's just stop it here and call Roger to come."

The article also briefly mentions Djokovic's previous dominant performance against Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas, a two-time Grand Slam runner-up, highlighting his consistent form at the tournament.

I propose a match-up between Roger and me for 106. Let's just stop it here and call Roger to come.
