- On Sunday, July 5, 2026, 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic faced qualifier Roman Safiullin on Centre Court in the Wimbledon fourth round, bidding for a record-breaking 106th win at the All England Club.
- Djokovic arrived aiming to surpass Roger Federer's record of 105 victories, having previously overcome Yibing Wu, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Arthur Rinderknech to reach this stage of the Championships.
- During the third game, Djokovic struck the umpire's chair with a resounding 'clunk' when attempting to return a ball to a ball kid, a moment recalling his 2020 Flushing Meadows disqualification six years ago.
- Ahead of the clash, Djokovic emphasized his role in the 'entertainment business,' stating "you try to bring the quality for the people that pay tickets." Safiullin mounted competitive resistance, forcing early errors from the veteran.
- Now 39, the Serbian veteran remains keen to continue delighting the Wimbledon audience for as long as his physical condition permits, pursuing a 25th career Grand Slam title.
