Djokovic achieves another milestone, earns 100th Wimbledon victory, joins Navratilova, Federer
Djokovic, who has won seven of his 24 Grand Slam titles at the All England Club, took control by winning nine consecutive games from 3-3 in the first set on Centre Court against his Serbian compatriot en route to his latest milestone.
The 38-year-old Djokovic, playing in his 20th Wimbledon tournament, will next face No. 11 Alex de Minaur for a spot in the quarterfinals.
Navratilova, a nine-time Wimbledon singles champion, amassed 120 singles victories. Eight-time champion Federer reached 105 singles wins.
Djokovic made just eight unforced errors through two sets before Kecmanovic made him work for the victory in the third.

Wimbledon's robot line judges caught napping on Centre Court
Following in the footsteps of the U.S. Open and the Australian Open, Wimbledon finally did away with human line judges in favor of Hawk-Eye technology at this year's Championships. All 18 courts have incorporated the system, which uses multiple high‑speed cameras and real‑time computer vision algorithms, with loudspeakers emitting an audible 'out' to confirm a missed shot. Recommended Videos A week into this year's competition, the technology appeared to be working well. But then, during a high-profile match on Centre Court on Sunday involving Brit Sonay Kartal and Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the system seemed to go a bit quiet, with the umpire having to confirm a couple of widely missed shots as out. But then, a short while later, on a game point for Pavlyuchenkova toward the end of the first set, Hawk-Eye failed to call a ball hit by Kartal that landed a foot past the baseline, with Pavlyuchenkova half-heartedly keeping it in play. Despite having clearly won the point — and therefore the game — Pavlyuchenkova was told to replay it. She lost the point and went on to lose the game. It was a confusing mess, with Pavlyuchenkova complaining during the changeover that 'they stole the game from me.' Fortunately for the Russian, she managed to retain a cool head and went on to win the match. But it could have turned out very differently. The All England Club, which runs Wimbledon, said at first that the system was 'deactivated on the point in question' because of 'operator error,' according to a BBC report. A spokesperson said later on Sunday that, after further investigation, it was found the technology was 'deactivated in error on part of the server's side of the court for one game.' The spokesperson added: 'We have apologized to the players involved. We continue to have full confidence in the accuracy of the ball-tracking technology. In this instance, there was a human error and as a consequence we have fully reviewed our processes and made the appropriate changes.' Having overruled some earlier calls, it's not clear why the umpire failed to do the same for this shot, which was clearly out. The rulebook states that the umpire has the power to make a call if Hawk-Eye fails to do so. 'He also saw it out, he told me after the match,' Pavlyuchenkova said in a post-match press conference. 'I thought he would do that, but he didn't. Instead they just said replay. I don't know if it's something to do [with Kartal being] local. I think it's also difficult for him. He probably was scared to take such a big decision.' Sunday's Hawk-Eye hiccup demonstrates that even automated line-calling systems are not infallible, a reality that, going forward, will put even greater pressure on the only human left officiating the match — the umpire. It'll be interesting to see how Pavlyuchenkova's experience affects next week's Wimbledon matches, with players perhaps more likely to look the umpire's way if they're expecting a shout from Hawk-Eye that doesn't come.

John McEnroe Calls For Player's Move At Wimbledon To Be Banned
John McEnroe Calls For Player's Move At Wimbledon To Be Banned originally appeared on The Spun. John McEnroe is on the call of the Carlos Alcaraz-Andrey Rublev Round of 16 match at Wimbledon on Sunday. Alcaraz, the No. 2 seed in the tournament, is rolling toward what looks like a four set victory. Rublev took the first set in a tiebreaker, winning 7-6. He was extremely fired up with the victory. The Spanish tennis star has since rallied back, though. Alcaraz, a five-time Grand Slam champion who is coming off a historic win at the French Open, won his next two sets against Rublev. He's looking strong in the fourth set, too. But McEnroe, who won seven Grand Slam titles, is taking issue with one of Rublev's moves during the match. McEnroe is taking issue with what might have been some gamesmanship from Rublev. Toward the end of the third set, in the middle of a game, Rublev called for a pause in the action, so he could change out his tennis racket. It's extremely rare to see a player change out their racket during the middle of a game, unless there is some kind of mechanical issue, like a string breaking or the racket getting damaged. You'll see players change rackets over the course of a game - Roger Federer would go through six to nine rackets over the course of a five-set match - but it's extremely rare to see it happen in the middle of a single game. Rublev did it against Alcaraz on Sunday, though. ESPN announcer Chris Fowler was puzzled by the move. So, too, was McEnroe. Fowler thought it might have been strategic. "A bit of gamesmanship?" he asked McEnroe. McEnroe didn't hesitate with his response. He thinks the move should be outlawed. "They just shouldn't let him do it," McEnroe said of Rublev's move on Sunday. Rublev is known for his fiery personality and he'll often go through a lot of different rackets during the course of his matches. But McEnroe has made it clear that he thinks Rublev's move of switching out a racket during the middle of an individual game is unacceptable. Wimbledon will continue play on ABC and ESPN this week. John McEnroe Calls For Player's Move At Wimbledon To Be Banned first appeared on The Spun on Jul 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
