Novak Djokovic breaks men's Wimbledon singles wins record as Naomi Osaka reaches quarter-finals

Novak Djokovic made history at Wimbledon on Sunday, surpassing Roger Federer’s long-standing record for most men’s singles match wins at the All England Club, while Naomi Osaka stunned world number one Aryna Sabalenka to reach the quarter-finals for the first time. Djokovic’s 7-6 (8/6), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 victory over Russian qualifier Roman Safiullin took his tally to 106 wins at SW19, one more than Federer’s previous record of 105. Only Martina Navratilova, with 120 singles wins across men’s and women’s events, remains ahead of the Serbian legend.
The 39-year-old Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, now faces either Canadian third seed Félix Auger-Aliassime or Spanish 22nd seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the quarter-finals. His path to a potential semi-final clash with defending champion Jannik Sinner, who defeated Japanese qualifier Shintaro Mochizuki 6-3, 7-6 (7/0), 6-3, remains on course. “Survive to thrive, that’s how I feel,” Djokovic said after the match. “Hopefully the thriving part is coming.” He acknowledged moments of frustration during the contest, including an issue with his eyes early on and a warning for an audible obscenity, adding: “I’m known for my outbursts and meltdowns, I had a few of those today so I apologise.”
In the women’s draw, Osaka delivered a masterclass against Sabalenka, defeating the Belarusian 6-2, 7-6 (7/2) to end a three-match losing streak against her rival. The 14th seed, who last won a Grand Slam title at the 2021 Australian Open, has yet to drop a set in her first four matches at Wimbledon. “For me, this court is so special,” Osaka said. “This is the first match I’ve won on this court. It means a lot. It’s been a long time since I’ve had so much fun on the court, and to do it here really means a lot.”
Osaka will next face Czech tenth seed Karolina Muchová, who defeated Barbora Krejčíková 7-5, 5-7, 6-3 in a Czech derby to reach her third Wimbledon quarter-final. Muchová, a 2023 Wimbledon semi-finalist, described the win as “the biggest success of my career” and praised Osaka’s unique style, saying: “She brings something special to the court, not just with her tennis but with her outfits.”
Jessica Pegula, the fourth seed, also secured her place in the quarter-finals with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory over American teenager Iva Jovic. Pegula, a 2023 US Open finalist, equalled her best Wimbledon performance by reaching the last eight for the second time in three years. She will face either defending semi-finalist Belinda Bencic or Coco Gauff, who has never progressed beyond the second round at Wimbledon.
Djokovic, bidding for a record 25th Grand Slam title and an eighth Wimbledon crown, remains the overwhelming favourite to reach the final. His quarter-final against Auger-Aliassime or Davidovich Fokina will be his ninth consecutive Wimbledon quarter-final and his 66th in Grand Slams. Meanwhile, Sinner, the world number one, will take on Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff, who reached the last eight for the first time in his career at the age of 36. Struff, the oldest first-time Grand Slam quarter-finalist since 1968, described his achievement as “the biggest success of my career.”
