Novak Djokovic destroys another Slam record held by legendary Roger Federer!

Novak Djokovic passed the 1st round at Wimbledon 2023 without problems. As one could imagine, the Serbian did not have any particular difficulties beating Argentine Pedro Cachin in three sets in the first round.

The seven-time London Slam champion will try to write other pages of history, but to do so he will have to emerge unscathed from a path that is not without obstacles, and which will see its end on Sunday 16 July.

The London grass has now become his home garden for 5 years now. If we exclude the 2020 edition of the English Major, the 23-time Grand Slam champion has been on a winning streak since 2017. The last defeat inflicted on him in the oldest Grand Slam in the world happened at the hands of the Czech Tomas Berdych.

If we extend the view also to the Australian Open, in which Nole holds the success record, the last stop dates back to 2018, the year in which he went out in the fourth round, beaten by the Korean Hyeon Chung.

Djokovic did not compete in the 2022 edition of the Happy Slams due to the well-known issues relating to the lack of vaccine to combat the 2019 Covid pandemic.

Novak Djokovic destroys a new Roger Federer's Slam record!

With every Djokovic victory, insiders are forced to update his crazy numbers, which one day seemed impossible to hit.

In particular, with the victory on Monday 3 July 2023 on the Wimbeldon Center Court, the former number one surpassed another great champion in the recent history of this sport. The 36-year-old earned his 66th Grand Slam 1st-round success.

In this way, he managed to beat a record held by Roger Federer, for the longest streak since the beginning of the Open Era. Djokovic has not lost in the first round of a Grand Slam since the 2006 Australian Open.

Nole will try to establish a record only succeeded by Rod Laver (in his case twice) in the history of tennis: being able to win all 4 slams in the same year. In the event that he were to win Wimbledon for the eighth time, he would find himself in the exact same situation he already experienced in 2021, where he stopped one step away from glory.

Only Daniil Medvedev stood between him and this other incredible record, stopping him in the final at the US Open.
