Novak Djokovic continues to expand his legend at Wimbledon. The Serbian secured his spot in the round of 16 on Saturday, also reaching a milestone reserved for very few: 105 victories at the All England Club, matching Roger Federer, the man who dominated the grass of London for years like no other.
The statistic was pointed out to him right after the match during an on-court interview. Instead of just thanking for the recognition, Djokovic responded with a witty remark that amused the crowd and quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the day. "I propose a face-off between Roger and me for the 106th. Whoever wins takes it, let's settle this here. Let's call Roger to come over!" joked the Balkan amid applause from the audience.
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 the history of tennis.

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 opportunity to hold that mark alone if he manages to overcome his next challenge in the round of 16, where he will face Roman Safiullin. A new milestone that would add to a career full of extraordinary achievements.
While that moment arrives, Djokovic left a delightful image for fans. His proposal 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 in this sport, which continues to evoke great nostalgia among tennis enthusiasts.
