Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic said he is "blessed" to have sealed his 100th victory at Wimbledon with a statement third-round win over compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.

Axar.az reports that Serb Djokovic was in no mood to delay his near-fated century at the All England Club and secured the 6-3 6-0 6-4 victory in just one hour and 50 minutes.

It is a feat achieved in singles only by nine-time women's winner Martina Navratilova and eight-time champion Roger Federer, who holds the men's record with 105.

If Djokovic wins the trophy at the end of the fortnight, he will still be one shy of Federer's mark.

But it would land him an even bigger accomplishment - the record 25th Grand Slam title he has been chasing since last winning a major at the 2023 US Open.

"Wimbledon is a favorite and a dream tournament of not just myself but the majority of players," he said.
