Novak Djokovic equalled Roger Federer’s record of 105 Wimbledon match wins on Friday, defeating France’s Arthur Rinderknech 7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(7/4) on Centre Court to reach the fourth round of the 2026 Championships. The 39-year-old Serb, chasing an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam title, matched the Swiss legend’s all-time mark in a contest that stretched beyond three hours, with the final set settled by a seventh-game tiebreak. Djokovic’s victory leaves him one major crown behind Federer’s men’s record of eight Wimbledon titles and keeps his pursuit of tennis immortality firmly on track.
Jannik Sinner, the defending champion and world No 1, also advanced with a more straightforward 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 win over American Jenson Brooksby, reinforcing his status as the bookmakers’ favourite to retain the title. Sinner will next face Japan’s Shintaro Mochizuki, a qualifier who stunned the field by reaching the fourth round, in a clash that promises to test the Italian’s grass-court credentials. “The conditions were tough today,” Sinner said after the match, referring to the oppressive heat at the All England Club. “But I managed to stay focused and play my game.”
Aryna Sabalenka, the tournament’s second seed, continued her strong grass-court form with a commanding 6-4, 6-4 victory over Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko, setting up a blockbuster fourth-round tie against former champion Naomi Osaka. Sabalenka, who has dominated the surface this season, dismissed any notion of nerves against Ostapenko’s power game. “When I’m playing well, I feel like I can beat anyone,” she told reporters. “The crowd here is amazing, and I love the energy.”
The men’s draw has already produced its share of drama, with qualifier Roman Safiullin and Mochizuki emerging as surprise packages. Safiullin, ranked 112th, will face Djokovic in the next round, while Mochizuki, 151st in the world, takes on Sinner. Their progress underscores the unpredictable nature of Wimbledon, where tradition and chaos often collide. Meanwhile, Jan-Lennard Struff secured his first-ever Wimbledon quarter-final berth with a dramatic comeback against Daniil Medvedev, a victory he described as “proof that you should never give up.”
With the tournament now entering its second week, the stage is set for a blockbuster final weekend. Djokovic, Sinner, and Sabalenka—three of the sport’s biggest names—remain on course to write the next chapter in a summer of high stakes and historic milestones.
