Djokovic Overcomes Muller, Advances to Wimbledon Second Round

Read

Novak Djokovic comes from a set down to defeat Alexandre Muller 6-1, 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-2 and advance to the second round of Wimbledon.


Novak Djokovic rebounded from a set loss to secure a steady win at Wimbledon, advancing to the second round. The 25-time Grand Slam champion contender is determined to add another title to his collection.


The Serbian veteran, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, overcame French opponent Alexandre Muller (world number 41) in a 6-1, 6-7 (7), 6-2, 6-2 victory. Despite dropping the second set, Djokovic regained his composure to dominate the match.




On Centre Court, Djokovic dominated the first set with three breaks, showcasing his authority. However, Alexandre Muller fought back, winning the second set in a tie-break to level the match.


The sixth-seeded Serb regained control in the third set and sealed the win with a couple of crucial breaks in the fourth set. This solid performance propelled Djokovic into the second round of Wimbledon.


Novak Djokovic has been level with Margaret Court on 24 Grand Slam singles titles since 2023. He believes his best chance of claiming a record 25th title lies at Wimbledon, where he has strong past performances.




After losing the past two Wimbledon finals to Carlos Alcaraz, Djokovic is motivated by the prospect of matching Roger Federer's record of eight men's titles at the All England Club. This adds extra incentive to his pursuit of a historic 25th Grand Slam win.


At 38, Novak Djokovic is acutely aware that time is running out to add to his Grand Slam tally, despite his consistent presence in Wimbledon finals since 2018. The emergence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at the top of the men's game adds urgency to his pursuit of another title.
