Novak Djokovic continues his momentum on his way to the Wimbledon title, with the Serbian tennis player celebrating on Friday night (July 3) his advancement to the round of 16 following his 3-1 set victory (7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6) over Arthur Rinderknech after a match lasting 3 hours and 15 minutes.
“Nole” secured his spot in the fourth round of the British Grand Slam for the 18th time in his illustrious and remarkable career, with his sights, of course, set on his eighth title at the premier grass-court tournament!
Today’s match against the 30-year-old Frenchman was of historic significance for Djokovic, as the 39-year-old megastar reached 105 wins at Wimbledon and tied the record held by the legend and king of grass, Roger Federer!
So, on Sunday afternoon (July 5), Nole will have the opportunity against Roman Shafyulin not only to advance to the quarterfinals but also to stand alone on this historic list of the British Grand Slam!
