Paolini is no longer among the top players amid Djokovic's historic victory at Wimbledon 2025
Wimbledon 2025: Legendary player Roger Federer had entered the third round 18 times. However, this is hardly a prestigious record for 38-year-old Djokovic, who has a total of 24 Grand Slam titles, including seven Wimbledons, which is a record among men's players. Djokovic said that nineteen times is a great figure.
Seven-time winner at Wimbledon Novak Djokovic became the first man in the Open era to reach the third round in the men's singles at the All England Lawn Tennis Club for the 19th time after overcoming Dan Evans, 6-3, 6-2, 6-0 at Center Court today. Djokovic achieved his 99th win at the championships overall and reached the third round for the 19th time, the highest men's performance in the Open age.
Legendary player Roger Federer had entered the third round 18 times. However, this is hardly a prestigious record for 38-year-old Djokovic, who has won a total of 24 Grand Slam titles including seven Wimbledons, a record among men's players. Djokovic said that nineteen times, it is a great figure. It is probably equal to the age of Sinner and Alcaraz. Alcaraz, who defeated Djokovic in the last two Wimbledon finals, is 22, while world number one Sinner is 23.
At the same time, Wimbledon 2025 saw another big upset in the women's singles, when last time's runner-up and fourth seed Jasmine Paolini was knocked out in the second round by unseeded Russian player Kamila Rakhimova 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. With this defeat, Paolini has become the fourth player among the top five seeded players to exit the tournament early. Earlier, second seed Coco Gauff, third seed Jessica Pegula and fifth seed Zheng Qinwen have already been eliminated in the first round.
