Novak Djokovic continues to enlarge his legend at Wimbledon. The Serbian sealed his spot in the round of 16 on Saturday, reaching a milestone reserved for very few: 105 victories at the All England Club, the same number as Roger Federer, the man who dominated the London grass for years like no one else.

The statistic was brought to his attention right after the match during the on-court interview. Instead of just thanking for the recognition, Djokovic responded with a witty remark that sparked laughter from the crowd and swiftly became one of the most talked-about moments of the day. "I propose a match between Roger and me for the 106th win. The winner takes it, let's end this here. Let's call Roger to come!", joked the Balkan amidst applause from the stands.

His response reflects the immense respect he has always shown towards Federer, an eight-time Wimbledon champion and an absolute icon on this surface. It also showcases the good humor with which Djokovic is experiencing a tournament where he continues to write chapters for tennis history.

Another record Djokovic snatches from Federer

With his triumph, the Serbian now shares with Federer the record for victories at the London Grand Slam and will have the chance to claim that mark alone if he manages to surpass his next challenge in the round of 16, where he will face Roman Safiullin. Another milestone that would add to a career filled with extraordinary achievements.

While that moment arrives, Djokovic left an image that delighted fans. His suggestion to settle the tie with a match against Federer is a joke, of course, but also a nod to one of the most iconic rivalries this sport has seen and one that continues to evoke great nostalgia among tennis enthusiasts.
