Novak Djokovic's legendary career gets better by the day and it could easily get even more legendary if he wins Wimbledon.
He's won plenty of Wimbledon trophies so far in his career and he'll equal Roger Federer for most if he wins it this year. He's at seven right now while Roger has 8, a number many thought was out of reach.
Djokovic won't play any preparation events leading up to Wimbledon but he will play one match at the Hurlingham Exhibition against Frances Tiafoe on Thursday (June 29th). It's a really fun event with lots of big names so check out the entry list and who will play.
Beating Djokovic on grass is really hard and one of the hardest things to do. Nick Kyrgios struggled to get it done despite playing 'lights out' according to his own words. Carlos Alcaraz holds very little confidence in his ability to do so and it's simply because of the fact that he's been pretty unbeatable in the past.
In fact, Andy Murray is the only player, that will be in this year's draw, that has ever beaten Novak Djokovic on a grass court before. There is also an incredible stat to showcase just how impressive the Serbian has been at Wimbledon and why many assume that he'll cruise this year as well.
He racked up 86 wins at the event so far in his career which is just incredible in itself, however, it's even more impressive when you realize that all the other players ranked inside the Top 20 on the ATP Tour have a combined 85 wins at the event. He's that much more experienced on a surface where that matters more than on any other.
So let's recap. Novak Djokovic has more Wimbledon wins than all the other Top 20-ranked players combined. They have 85 while he has 86. So you take Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, Frances Tiafoe, Taylor Fritz, Carlos Alcaraz, and the rest and you still end up with fewer wins at SW19 than Djokovic. It's incredible and it's why he's likely to win his 24th Grand Slam trophy next month.
