Kecmanovic, on Djokovic: "If he keeps playing like this, he will win 20 more Grand Slams"

Demonstration of sublime power, display of authority, and a warning to his rivals. This is how one can interpret the superb performance of Novak Djokovic in the third round of Wimbledon 2025, where he overwhelmed Miomir Kecmanovic and gained great confidence in his chances of success heading into the second week of the London Grand Slam. This was expressed by his rival in the press conference.

The Groundhog Day. There have been so many occasions where we have seen Novak Djokovic start a Grand Slam a bit hesitant and lacking confidence, only to gradually find himself and reach a turning point in the form of a great match. It is inevitable not to think about this when witnessing performances like the one he delivered against Miomir Kecmanovic in the third round of Wimbledon 2025. This was expressed by the Serbian player in words captured by Sportklub, a friend of Novak's who was completely overwhelmed from start to finish.

"It was insane, it was difficult to win points even when serving well. One wonders what to do on the court when Novak plays at that level. I came into the match without fear and didn't put pressure on myself, but his level was very high. If he continues to play like this, I feel he can win 20 more Grand Slam titles," explained the Balkan player.

When asked about his feelings on the court, his response is indicative of Djokovic's level of play. "It is clear that matches like this motivate me to keep improving, but I am aware that only three players can currently reach that performance level; Sinner, Alcaraz, and Novak. It's incredible how well-prepared he is physically, with a very consistent and varied serve in terms of effects, directions, and speed, not to mention the mental aspect. I felt as if we were in 2011 or 2015," warned Kecmanovic, who analyzed common aspects of the Italian, Spanish, and his compatriot.

"When you play against Jannik, Carlos, and Novak, you can sense that they set a different pace and don't give anything away. They raise their level when needed most, they force you to play beyond your limits for a long time, and in the end, you end up physically and mentally exhausted. The most lethal aspect of their tennis is that they play well even on a bad day," reflected Miomir Kecmanovic who leaves Wimbledon 2025 feeling the best version of Novak Djokovic.
