Novak Djokovic, playing at 38, drew widespread acclaim for a spectacular rally during his third-round Wimbledon match against Miomir Kecmanovic. The exchange, described on the tournament broadcast as possibly the “point of the tournament,” saw the seven-time champion retrieve multiple shots before finishing with a forehand winner, prompting a standing ovation on Centre Court. The highlight underlined Djokovic’s continued dominance on grass as he pursues a record-extending 25th Grand Slam singles title. Broadcasters and analysts noted the rally as evidence that the former world No. 1 remains capable of producing his trademark defensive brilliance despite recent knee surgery and his advancing age.
