Lightning-Fast Recovery and Impressive Victory
Novak Djokovic, the Serbian tennis player ranked number 2 in the world, demonstrated an extraordinary recovery by defeating Czech Vit Kopriva with a resounding 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 in the first round of Wimbledon.

Djokovic’s Wimbledon Statistics
Djokovic, 37, has won seven titles at Wimbledon (2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022) and has accumulated 93 wins and only seven losses in this tournament.

In Pursuit of the Grand Slam Crown
Djokovic has won a total of 98 titles in his career and is seeking his 25th Grand Slam trophy, which would allow him to surpass Chris Evert on the list of players with the most victories in the Open Era. So far, he has won 10 titles at the Australian Open, four at the US Open, and three at Roland Garros.
Next Opponent and Challenges
In the second round, Djokovic will face the winner of the match between Britain’s Jacob Fearnley and Spain’s Alejandro Moro Cañas.

With an irregular but promising season, Djokovic records 19 wins and seven losses, focusing on adding more successes to his impressive career.
The Determination of a Champion
Djokovic’s effort and determination to be present at Wimbledon have paid off.

With 371 victories in Grand Slam tournaments, more than any other player in tennis history, Djokovic continues to write his legend in the sport.
Novak Djokovic continues to prove why he is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. His quick recovery and victory in the first round of Wimbledon are a testament to his dedication and passion for tennis.
