Djokovic became the first player to reach 80 wins in all four Grand Slams, after making it past the first round of Wimbledon on June 27.

Djokovic won 80 and lost 20 matches at Wimbledon, including a 22-match winning streak since 2018. He has previously won 81 U.S. Open matches, 82 Australian Open matches and 85 Roland Garros matches. The Serbian is a nine-time champion in Melbourne but has stopped five times before the quarter-finals and lost the quarter-finals three times.

Of the four Grand Slam, Roland Garros is Djokovic's least predestined tournament with only twice the championship. But, he went to the quarterfinals three times, reached the semi -finals, lost four finals and had never been eliminated in the first round. This is also the only Grand Slam Djokovic has not missed an appointment since the beginning of his career. "Nole" also persisted to attend Wimbledon but this tournament was canceled by 2020 for Covid-19.

"I hope to achieve 100 wins in Wimbledon," Djokovic said after the Kwon Soon-Woo victory in the central yard on the afternoon of June 27. "At this stage of my career, I put my best for the Grand Slam, the most important playground. The tennis gave me everything and I still have a lot of passion for it. The fire is still burning in me, especially Especially at Wimbledon. This is always my dream place. "

No player, both men and women, reached 80 wins in all four Grand Slam. Roger Federer over 100 wins in Australia expanded and Wimbledon, won 89 US expanded matches, but only 73 wins at Roland Garros. Rafael Nadal is far from 80 victories at the remaining three Grand Slams, except for Roland Garros.

On the opening day of Wimbledon, Djokovic started not smoothly when losing to Kwon Soon-Woo Set Hai. But, he still showed a part of the last two sets to gain the right to the second round, meeting Thanasi Kokkinakis. The highest seed of Djokovic can be encountered in the first four rounds, Reilly Opelka. His potential opponent in the quarterfinals are Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
