Djokovic, aiming to match Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles, expressed his childhood dream of winning on the prestigious courts. Reflecting on his journey from war-torn Serbia, he highlighted the significance of his achievement at Wimbledon.
In their latest encounter, Djokovic’s experience prevailed as he dominated the match against Musetti, breaking early in each set and capitalizing on crucial points to secure victory. Musetti praised Djokovic’s performance, acknowledging the Serb’s exceptional form.
