Novak Djokovic has reached a milestone by securing his 52nd Grand Slam semi-final appearance, putting him on par with Chris Evert for the most semi-final appearances in the Open Era. This achievement occurred after his victory over Flavio Cobolli at Wimbledon 2025.
Road to the Semi-Finals
Djokovic’s path to his 14th Wimbledon semi-final wasn’t without challenges. He faced a tough match against Flavio Cobolli, where he dropped the first set in a tiebreak. However, he bounced back to win the match in four sets. His adaptability and experience on grass courts have been crucial to his continued success.
Key Stats from the Cobolli Match
Djokovic’s performance against Cobolli showcased his resilience and skill:
- Djokovic recorded 51 winners.
- Cobolli made 44 unforced errors.
- The match lasted for three hours and 11 minutes.
Djokovic’s Wimbledon Legacy
Djokovic has surpassed Roger Federer’s record of 13 semi-final appearances, now holding the record with 14 appearances at Wimbledon. At 38 years old, Djokovic is the second-oldest men’s semi-finalist at Wimbledon, only behind Ken Rosewall, who reached this stage in 1974 at 39 years.
Potential Record-Breaking Title
If Djokovic wins his upcoming semi-final match and proceeds to win the final, he will secure his 25th Grand Slam title. This would break his tie with Margaret Court for the most major singles titles in history.
The Next Challenge: Jannik Sinner
In the semi-final, Djokovic is set to face Jannik Sinner, the world’s No. 1 player. This match is a rematch of the 2023 Wimbledon semi-final, where Djokovic won in straight sets.
