Novak Djokovic defeated Miomir Kecmanović 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 on Saturday for his 100th career Wimbledon victory.

The 38-year-old Djokovic, who has dropped the past two Wimbledon finals to Carlos Alcaraz, now has a career singles record of 100-12 at the All-England Club. He joins nine-time winner Martina Navratilova and eight-time champion Roger Federer as the only players to have reached the century mark in victories at Wimbledon.

Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon men’s singles winner will make his seventh straight appearance in the fourth round when he faces Australia’s Alex de Minaur on Sunday.

The French Open is the only other Grand Slam tournament that Djokovic has surpassed 100 career singles wins (101). He has won least 90 matches at the Australian Open (99) and U.S. Open (90).

On Thursday, Djokovic moved past Federer by reaching the third round of Wimbledon for the 19th time in his career, the most by a male player in the Open Era.

Djokovic is seeking his 25th career singles major title and first since the 2023 U.S. Open when he beat Daniil Medvedev to tie Margaret Court for most Grand Slam singles championships ever with 24.
