Djokovic sets Wimbledon singles win record, reaches quarterfinals

Novak Djokovic remains on track for a potential 25th Grand Slam title after reaching the Wimbledon quarterfinals. The Serbian champion battled past Russia's Roman Safiullin in a three-hour, 25-minute match, winning 7:6 (8:6), 6:3, 3:6, and 6:3.

With this victory, the 39-year-old Belgrade native also set a new record for the most singles wins in the history of the tournament, achieving 106 victories. This surpasses the previous record of 105 wins held by the legendary Swiss player Roger Federer. Djokovic's path to this historic milestone was not without its challenges, as Safiullin, ranked 132nd in the world, put up a strong fight, particularly in the opening set.

Despite a mid-match dip in form that led to a warning from the umpire and a lost third set, Djokovic regained his composure in the fourth. He secured the win, extending his undefeated streak against qualifiers in Grand Slam tournaments to 33 matches. Djokovic's quarterfinal opponent will be either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Meanwhile, young Slovenian talents Žiga Šeško and Svit Suljić also secured victories in the junior Wimbledon tournament.
