At 39 years old, the Serbian remains one of the most dangerous players on grass and opened the tournament as a legitimate contender despite being seeded seventh.

Djokovic’s title bid began with a stern test against China’s Wu Yibing on Centre Court. After dropping the second set, the Serbian relied on his trademark composure and experience to pull away for a 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory in a match that lasted more than three hours.

Djokovic admitted afterward that it “didn’t feel like a first-round match,” praising Wu’s aggressive shot-making while crediting his two decades of Wimbledon experience for helping him navigate the key moments. The victory set up a blockbuster second-round showdown with Stefanos Tsitsipas.

While younger stars like Jannik Sinner headline the next generation, Djokovic continues to prove he belongs among the favorites every time he steps onto the grass at the All England Club. His elite return game, movement, and ability to raise his level under pressure have made him one of the greatest grass-court players in history, and if his body holds up through the second week, another deep Wimbledon run remains well within reach.
