Djokovic Sets Wimbledon Match‑Wins Record as Osaka Upsets World No. 1

A streak‑ending victory by Naomi Osaka has opened the women's draw while Novak Djokovic's latest win reinforces his push for more Grand Slam milestones.

Overview

  • Novak Djokovic registered his 106th singles victory at Wimbledon in a round‑of‑16 win over Roman Safiullin, surpassing Roger Federer for the most men's match wins at the All England Club.
  • Naomi Osaka beat world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6‑2, 7‑6(2) on Sunday to reach her first Wimbledon quarterfinal and become the first Japanese woman in the last eight since 2004.
  • The women's bracket has been turned upside down by multiple early shocks, with top seeds Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Iga Świątek all eliminated before the second week.
  • Coco Gauff, Marta Kostyuk and Jasmine Paolini joined Osaka in the last eight, producing an unusually open quarterfinal lineup that hands lower‑seeded players a clearer path deep into the tournament.
  • The results create immediate shifts in momentum: Djokovic moves closer to further Grand Slam milestones, Osaka completes a notable comeback run after time away from the tour, and Sabalenka publicly voiced frustration that could affect her form heading into the hard‑court season.
