Novak Djokovic continues to enlarge his legend at Wimbledon. The Serbian secured his spot in the round of 16 this Saturday, reaching a figure reserved for very few: 105 victories at the All England Club, the same as Roger Federer, the man who dominated the London grass like no other for years.
The stat was reminded to him right after the match during the on-court interview. Instead of just thanking for the acknowledgment, Djokovic responded with a quip that triggered laughter from the audience and quickly became one of the most discussed 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.
The 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 shows 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 opportunity to stand alone with that record if he manages to overcome his next challenge in the round of 16, where he will face Roman Safiullin. Another milestone that would add to a career full of extraordinary achievements.
While that moment arrives, Djokovic left an image that delighted fans. His proposal to settle the tie with a match against Federer is a joke, obviously, but also a nod to one of the most iconic rivalries that this sport has witnessed and that continues to evoke immense nostalgia among tennis enthusiasts.
