Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon 2025. The 38-year-old Serbian, who already holds 24 major titles, is set to face compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic on Saturday, July 5, with the match expected to begin at noon ET, though timing may shift if earlier matches run long[1].

Djokovic has displayed strong form, advancing to the third round by decisively defeating Daniel Evans 6-3, 6-2, 6-0, marking his 99th career win at Wimbledon[7]. He is bidding to equal Roger Federer’s men’s record of eight Wimbledon titles and extend his own Grand Slam record. Djokovic has reached the last six Wimbledon finals and remains confident in his physical and mental sharpness, expressing that his game is particularly strong on grass this year[3].

In pre-tournament analysis, Djokovic was considered a major contender at Wimbledon, though his ranking has slipped to No. 6 in the world according to the latest ATP standings from June 30, 2025[8]. This drop means he won’t benefit from the top-four seed protection, potentially setting up earlier showdowns with current top rivals such as Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz[2]. Despite this, Djokovic’s confidence remains high: “If I play like today, I feel like I have a very good chance against anybody, really, on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, a place where I maybe feel the most comfortable on any court,” he noted in a recent interview[3].

Following his French Open semi-final run, Djokovic’s title chase continues amid speculation that 2025 Wimbledon may represent one of his last best opportunities to add to his Grand Slam tally[5]. His career singles record now stands at 1,136 wins and 228 losses, with 99 career titles to his name as of this season[4].
