Overview

  • At 38, Djokovic enters Wimbledon 2025 as the sixth seed, his lowest draw position since 2018.
  • He arrives off back-to-back final defeats to Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon and a French Open semi-final loss to Jannik Sinner.
  • Djokovic needs three more match wins to reach 100 career victories at SW19 and would equal Federer’s eight men’s singles titles with a championship.
  • He regards Wimbledon’s grass courts as his strongest opportunity to secure an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam amid the younger duopoly of Alcaraz and Sinner.
  • Despite volatile form over the past year, Djokovic insists he remains motivated by chasing records and history rather than rankings.
