Novak Djokovic defeated Roman Safiullin 3-1 to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals, securing his 106th career win at the tournament — one more than the previous record held by Roger Federer, according to Israeli sports commentator Ben Goldfriend.
Novak Djokovic, widely regarded as the greatest tennis player of all time, added another milestone to his career on Sunday by breaking Roger Federer's record for most career wins at Wimbledon. Djokovic's 106th victory came in a 3-1 win over unseeded Roman Safiullin, advancing him to the quarterfinals. The record was previously held by Federer, who had 105 wins at the All England Club. The tournament has seen a series of upsets earlier this week, including the elimination of top seed Iga Świątek and the early exit of Andrey Rublev. Djokovic, the second seed, continues his quest for a record-tying eighth Wimbledon title.
