On Centre Court's end stand, King Frederik had taken a seat in the royal box, where he watched Novak Djokovic beat the Russian Roman Safiullin, the world number 132, 7-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

This victory marks a significant milestone for Djokovic, as he now holds the record for the most Wimbledon match wins by any male player. He surpassed Roger Federer's previous record of 105 wins, bringing his own total to 106.

With the victory, the Serbian star can now boast of being the male player who has won the most Wimbledon matches ever.

The match was not a straightforward affair for the Serbian star. He faced considerable pressure in the first set, where Safiullin missed two set points before Djokovic fought back to win the tiebreak. The second set saw Djokovic assert his superiority, but the third set proved challenging again. Despite receiving medical treatment for a leg issue, Safiullin managed to win the set, highlighting Djokovic's human vulnerability on the court.

Across genders, Martina Navratilova is still the one who has won the most Wimbledon matches in history. She has celebrated a victory 120 times at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, where Wimbledon is held.

However, Djokovic regrouped in the fourth set, establishing an early lead. A single service break was enough to secure the historic win, demonstrating his resilience and ability to perform under pressure.
