It is interesting that ковиokovi има has the most victories in the favorite tournament of his great rival Rafael Nadal, Roland Garros (85 triumphs), at the Australian Open he has 82 victories, at the US Open 81 and at Wimbledon 80 victories so far. The ratio of trophies won is different, Melbourne has nine, in London six, in New York three and in Paris two.

The victory he brought in the history books he achieved over Sunwu Kwon in four sets with 6: 3,3: 6,6: 3,6: 4.

- This sport gave me everything. I love tennis with all my heart and I play with great passion. I am no longer a child, but love and spark still burn in me for this sport. At this stage of my career I try to play the best tennis. What can I say, I have reached the number of 80 victories and now we are going to a hundred - said ковиokovi. After the triumph in the first round of Wimbledon.

The Serbian tennis player, in addition to the victory and the record, was satisfied with the fans on the Central Court of the "Old England Club" who gave him the necessary support.

- I have said many times, this field is special for me. I dreamed of playing on the Central Field and winning, all my dreams came true here.

Djokovic also spoke about a possible long break from 11 months of Grand Slam appearances. Namely, according to the current rules for entering the United States and for a longer stay in the country, it is necessary for the person to be vaccinated against coronavirus. Ковиokovi јавно publicly admitted several months ago that he was against vaccination and if Washington did not change its decision, he would not be able to play in the US Open, which is to be played from August 29 to September 11.

Djokovic should also miss next year's Australian Open, as he was expelled from the country in January and given a three-year entry ban. Because of that, the Serbian tennis player after Wimbledon could play in the next tournament only at Roland Garros next year.

- I am aware of the situation and that motivated me more to get the most out of Wimbledon. But I do not think so far, we will see what the situation will be after Wimbledon. There is not much time until the US Open, we will see if things will change and I will be able to compete. "I would like to play in New York, but I am focused on what is happening here at Wimbledon," Djokovic said.
